Who We Are

Health | Education | Empowerment | For Women by Women

MCN Healthcare has 30 years’ experience in healthcare development and education. Based on the belief that health is a basic human right we started MCN Foundation in 2011. Our goal is to empower communities to take control of their health and establish a vibrant and participatory healthcare system.

We also mentor and promote the growth of grassroots nonprofits, primarily women led, located in India and several countries in Africa. Improving the lives of women has the greatest positive impact on families and communities. We provide education for women to enable them to support their children and enhance their living conditions.
