We offer flexible and viable options for treating isolated and vulnerable
Six days a week, our fully-equipped mobile health centres bring health care to impoverished families in dozens of locations. Hundreds of patients a day benefit from the medical vans’ on-site services and free medicines. For most patients, this is the only time they will ever see a doctor. Immediate needs are met, referrals made when necessary, and chronic diseases are identified and treated on an ongoing basis.
Each fully-equipped mobile health center is staffed with a doctor, pharmacy assistant, and driver so that the immediate healthcare needs of the slum dwellers can be assessed and treated, and proper referrals can be made when necessary. Another focus of the mobile health unit is to identify and care for patients with chronic diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure, and to provide them with a continuous supply of free medicines. Electronic health records for all patients are maintained to monitor the program and to facilitate follow-up treatments.
