Question: Please explain, how your organization works through mobile medical vans?

Answer: In each mobile van we have one MBBS doctor, along with a pharmacist and of course a driver. These vans cover 20 villages in a week. Doctors see about 90 patients a day which comes to about 25 thousand in a year. In fact, there is still a huge shortage of health services in India especially in rural areas. So these vans are doing a helpful job.
