They are hosting a first-of-its-kind health fair in the city to honor motherhood.

The goal is to educate the public about healthcare costs and coverage while also bringing transparency to healthcare costs and insurance. In this fair, Mother’s Care has also launched an affordable “1 rupee/day” health scheme for the general public.
