While most not-for-profit organisations tend to focus on specific needs – Education, Food, Environment, Health Care, Disability, Advocacy etc. – SSM has cast its net wide by design. SSM firmly believes that too sharpened a focus can sometimes make one miss the big picture. In some cases, it might even accentuate the fight for the need to a level where the fight gains more prominence than the need and the solution is no more the objective. Winning the fight is. Also, in a vast country like India, with so many interests competing for attention, the ones that address the top interest – that of the country – as well as the one at the bottom – that of the last man in the line, is bound to be protected. This is exactly what SSM has attempted in its initiatives related to blood safety and essential medicines. While the blood safety initiative covers the entire country in the way it seeks best blood screening methodology for every bag that an Indian consumes, the essential medicine initiative aligns well with India’s “Make In India” dream in the way it proposes indigenous manufacturing of essential medicines for thalassemia. SSM is looking for like minded partners, who find themselves aligned with SSM’s objective and want to do their bit to ensure “prosperity for all”.
