Free Mobile Medical Service
| 
| 
Sevabharathi Tamilnadu has a longstanding experience of conducting mobile medical camps in the backward villages of Ramanathapuram District. Based on that, as well as the experience gained from the tsunami rehabilitation work, Free Mobile Medical Service was taken up as a regular activity. The support received from various quarters also encouraged this initiative. There are already a few vans for the purpose; funds are required mainly for meeting the recurring expenses.
Under the Mobile Medical Service, a medical team, headed by a qualified doctor, visits the villages periodically on a planned basis and renders basic medical assistance. Periodic monitoring of patients’ progress is done as a follow-up activity. The team also educates the villagers on hygiene and health-care. Specialist doctors accompany the mobile team wherever required; chronic cases detected are referred to the regular hospitals for treatment and follow-up. The feedback received so far from the beneficiaries has been very encouraging.
