BAPS Mobile Medical Vans.
The Sanstha has also gauged a need for medical aid in interior villages
where patients do not have easy access to hospitals or health centers.
The ideal way to reach them is by Mobile Medical Vans (MMVs). BAPS
now has 6 MMVs operating in tribal areas. These vans now cover nearly
the whole tribal belt of Gujarat. Each van has a doctor, a pharmacist
and a driver, and carries enough medical supplies for common diseases
and treatment. The MMV has a fixed itinerary, staying in each village
for half a day, covering 12 villages in its six day weekly agenda. These
vans are now treating an average of nearly 14,000 patients every month,
providing consultation and free medicines worth more than Rs. 360 per
day.
Total 6 doctors are giving their services
in this Mobile Medical Vans.
