Diabetes care for the people who cannot buy it.
Caspian Healthcare Foundation screens, teaches and treats. We take blood sugar testing into neighbourhoods that have never had it, we explain the disease in plain language, and we train the doctors who will manage it for the next thirty years.
Why this work exists
India has more people living with diabetes than any country has ever had.
The ICMR-INDIAB national survey put the figure at 101 million adults with diabetes and another 136 million with prediabetes, alongside 254 million with generalised obesity. Most of them have never had a single test. In the lanes around our clinic, a blood sugar reading is not a routine number, it is a piece of news that arrives ten years late, usually with an ulcer, a failing kidney or a first heart attack attached to it.
A full screening costs about one thousand rupees to deliver. That is the entire gap between someone finding out early and someone finding out too late.
Screening camps
Blood glucose, blood pressure, height, weight and waist, done free, with the result explained face to face by a doctor rather than handed over as a printout.
Public education
Talks and clinics in everyday language for people who have been told to control their sugar and never told how. No product placement, no sponsor on the slide.
Training doctors
The Foundation hosts a structured certificate course in obesity medicine for practising physicians, so good care outlives any one camp or any one clinic.
What we run
Four programmes, one thread
Everything the Foundation does follows the same line: find the disease early, explain it honestly, and keep treating it after the camp has packed up.
Caspian Diabesity Expo
Our flagship public event, run with the Telangana chapter of RSSDI. Free entry, free multi-parameter screening including blood glucose, lipid profile, liver and kidney function, TSH, vitamin D, ECG, retinal and neuropathy checks, FibroScan and body measurements, plus expert sessions and a free meal.
Caspian Diabetes Talks
Community lectures on the complications people actually fear, with free blood glucose, blood pressure and BMI checks on the spot and an open question and answer session with the doctor afterwards.
OWN, the Obesity Warriors Network
A moderated support group for patients on GLP-1 treatment, with guidance from Dr Khizer Junaidy, peer encouragement and practical content between appointments. Open to Caspian Healthcare patients on that treatment.
CASPIAN Certificate in Obesity Medicine
A twelve-module certificate course for practising physicians, hosted by the Foundation, with a textbook, case-based teaching and assessments. Independent of pharmaceutical sponsorship.
Where your money goes
One thousand rupees is one whole person, screened.
We cost our work at what it actually takes to deliver, not at what sounds impressive in a report. A full screening, the consumables, the staff time and the doctor who sits down and explains the result, comes to roughly one thousand rupees a head.
- Rs 1,000 screens one person completely, result explained
- Rs 3,000 covers a family
- Rs 10,000 puts a screening bench into a community camp
- Rs 25,000 underwrites a full neighbourhood talk with screening

For companies and institutions
Partner with a trust that publishes its numbers
We work with companies, professional bodies and hospitals on screening drives, public education and academic events. Recognition is ethical and stated plainly, reporting is audited, and no partner buys influence over what our doctors teach.
What a partner gets
- A named, costed programme, not a logo on a banner
- An 80G receipt and audited reporting on what was delivered
- Attendance, screening and outcome counts from the event itself
- A clear line between funding and clinical content
What it looks like
The 2025 expo, in eight photographs
Free entry, free testing, a meal, and doctors who sit down and explain the result. The next one is on 14 November 2026.
Someone in your neighbourhood has diabetes and does not know it.
Screening is the cheapest thing medicine does and the only part that works before the damage. One thousand rupees finds one of them.
