Three mobile clinics serve 75+ villages in tehsils Abu Road, Pindwara and Reodar in district Sirohi, a population of about 150,000.
Each clinic is staffed by a doctor, a patient attendant cum medicine dispenser and a driver.
Why is the project relevant?
The service plugs a gap in available health services. For most of these villages, the nearest government-run Primary Health Centre is 5 to 20 km away. Travelling to and fro to see a doctor takes up the better part of a day, and means the loss of a day’s wage. Understandably, these people tend to delay doctor’s visits.
Since when is the project active?
2004

Dr Ashok Dave (supervisor/doctor), Dr Sanjeev Dixit (doctor), Dr Dnyaneshwar Game (doctor), Dr Lalit Saini (doctor)
