In the areas where basic medical facilities are not adequate or easily accessible, GMRVF runs medical clinics which provide primary health care, medicines and referral services.
To make health care accessible in very remote areas, Foundation paramedics visit the villages.
Mahadev Varlu Khobragade, aged 72 years, lives in Shembal village of Warora block in Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. When he was young he used to cultivate his small land holding but was hardly able to save any money for his old age. He has three sons but he lives independently. He is somehow able to make both ends meet by working as agriculture laborer in others’ fields. Having abused his health with alcohol and tobacco for several years, Mahadev’s general state of health is very poor and he suffers from Asthama. Introduction of Mobile Medical Unit in his village proved a blessing to him. He visited the MMU and got necessary medicines and dietary advice. Within a year, Mahadev’s health improved significantly and he is now able work regularly. Improved health led to better financial condition and better quality of life.
“If I am alive and talking to you today, it is only because of the support from Foundation” says Bachan with a touch of thankfulness in his tone.
