The IIFL Foundation collaborated with Bhaktivedanta Hospital & Research Institute to successfully accomplish the '𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗽𝘂𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰', which commenced on July 12th, 2024.

This yearly initiative provided comprehensive healthcare services to the Warkari community in Pandharpur during Ashadhi Ekadashi.

Over the years, the collaboration has been able to serve more than 8,37,874 warkaris.The word ‘warkari’ is a Marathi term that means "one who performs the wari '' or "pilgrim". It refers to a religious movement within Hinduism's bhakti spiritual tradition. Warkaris are devotees of Vitthal, also known as Vithoba.

The camp has been held annually since 2007, providing all-body health check-ups and outpatient services to attendees. Immediate care and follow-up treatments are ensured as required. The camp also ensured they are well-fed with nutritious meals and refreshments, enhancing their overall well-being throughout the pilgrimage.

This year, the ambulance (equipped to aid multi casualty) donated by IIFL Foundation to BhaktiVedanta Hospital & Research Institute (Mumbai) was also taking care of the casualties at the pilgrimage site of Pandharpur.
