Arogyadoot - Mobile Clinic

Based on our survey about the availability of the medical facilities in the villages near Sangola , the immediate requirement was to reach to the villagers. U.V Patel foundation, through Seva Sahayog , gracefully donated a mobile van popularly known as "Aarogyadoot" which is working since April 2008. As the name depicts, it is working as a messenger of "HEALTH". This van visits 5 villages in the interior areas where currently no medical facilities are available. The Doctor accompanying the van provides the medical service to the villagers once in a week, the work being very similar to an OPD. The fully equipped Mobile clinic also contains a well maintained small pharmacy which provides medicines at very affordable rates .Having this kind of advanced facility is really a boon for the remote villagers.
From April till Sept 2008 services provided are -
  • - Registration and check up of pregnant women - 98
  • - Registration and check up of infants less than one year - 61
