Launched in 1978, the Mobile Hospital, one of PRASAD Chikitsa’s first healthcare initiatives in the Tansa Valley and one of the first mobile hospitals in Maharashtra State, removes many of these barriers.
The Mobile Hospital brings services right to the heart of Adivasi villages. Villagers receive health education and screening and treatment for chronic diseases such as tuberculosis, malnutrition, and heart disease, and referrals to eye surgery camps. Healthcare workers also do community outreach to ensure all who need treatment know how to access it.
To date, the Mobile Hospital has reached more than 1 million people living in remote villages who would not otherwise have access to healthcare. The Mobile Hospital provides services six days a week to 6 villages and expects 6,000 visits per year.
