Door to Care Foundation

Conversations

A consultation lasts fifteen minutes. The tiredness, the household, the loneliness, the words used about your body — none of it has anywhere to go. We run long, unhurried conversations on the parts of chronic illness a clinic cannot hold: obesity and what the number leaves out, the language used on people with diabetes, PCOS, thyroid, menopause, care and the work that isn’t counted as work. Each session puts clinical knowledge and lived knowledge in the same room. Free and open to anyone.

Saksham

Saksham is a Type 1 diabetes welfare society, now working under the Foundation. Type 1 is not preventable, not anyone’s fault, and not survivable without insulin — and what it costs to manage falls on families indefinitely. We distribute insulin, glucose strips and continuous glucose monitors to people who could not otherwise afford them, and we work on education alongside, so that they and their families can make their own decisions about the condition rather than only follow instruction
