MOBILE MEDICAL UNIT (NRHM)

Not every village has a government run medical centre. For medical services to be offered to the people from these villages, the hospital staff visits them with medical-team-on-wheels in a specially prepared vehicle under the National Rural Health Mission. The vehicle has a small pathology laboratory, operation theatre & medicine store. Using this vehicle, a team visits villages in remote & inaccessible parts to meet their needs of medical services. With a properly planned schedule the team visits one village every day. The village representatives, leaders, qualified persons from the village and the women from the self-help groups support this activity of medical examination of villagers, pregnant mothers and adolescent girls. Free medicines are distributed and in case of a need of further treatment the patient is brought to the hospital where he is treated by specialist doctors. This is the way the Hospital is contributing to the government initiative of National Rural Health Mission.
