HEALTH ON THE WHEEL
We
at Aahwahan Foundation believe in “Giving is not about donating, it’s about
making a difference”. By keeping this authentic belief as our motto we do the
transformation by adopting 5 innovative strategies which include women
empowerment, community development, health, education, and environment.
Taking about the health strategy, in particular, we do several projects
that include health centers which are at present 3064 registered doctors are
working under this programmer, the second one is Doctor at School where
Teachers/Doctors educates and doing the regular checkups school children about
basic health and hygiene. The third one is Mobile medical Clinic where a
Complete PHC is set up provided in a van which moves from village to village
routine wise and last but not the least is Health on Wheels where Mobile
Medical Clinic provided for Marginal Communities.
If we talk about Health on the wheel. It is one of the most important
strategies for health development. It is one of our latest service for rural
healthcare. Why rural health care? There
is much factual based information that shows how the health facility in rural
care is not up to the mark. The Hospitals in rural India are overburdened, the
number of staff is not as per requirement, and most importantly the hospitals
are very ill-equipped. The equipment that is needed for the checkups is very less
in numbers as per the population of the village. From the official data, it has
been said that the doctor-patient ratio in India is less than the WHO
prescribed limit of 1:1000 which is very daunting in itself.
Keeping all these points in mind,
the features that we provided in our mobile medical van is somewhere or other
is very beneficial for the society. One
of these features includes our mobile medical van which can provide
cost-effective treatment to people in rural areas. Our mobile van comprises a
driver, a nurse, and a doctor visiting one village per day so there will not be
any deficiency of health workers. All our health workers from the nurse to the
doctor are available in the mobile van every time. These staffs are well
trained and ready to serve people without making them wait for long. We give
them the best services available.
Not
only that we provide Outpatient Physical Therapy to patients in inaccessible
rural areas which is now lacking somewhere. The patient is provided with proper
therapies that help them to fight their problems. If talking about the timing and availability
of mobile van service, we have solution for that too. The schedule would be
shared in advance with the villagers for better coordination. The advance
shared schedule by the organization helps the villagers in minimal wastage of
time and they can easily take time for the treatment. So it will not only help
the people to manage properly but also give the organization a chance to serve
better.
Even during this pandemic we with the help of
our mobile van services try to work a lot. Infect At present, the mobilemedical van is used to fight against COVID-19. About COVID relief activity We
have spread awareness about Covid-19 in over 271 villages, 46 slums 28 small
towns We have so far distributed ration and health kits to 6,20,000 families
across Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, and parts of Odisha. We have
helped so far with 27,010 individual consultations. In this activity, we visit various slums in
urban settings and rural areas to conduct testing for diabetes & other
illness
Our
people are our priority, we never take any risk with them. We refer the cases
to the public health authorities when the situation demands. We care for them
and that why we do the required and be more flexible
according to the need of people. Our constant efforts have touched the lives of
people. We believe in community development. Urbanization has had an impact on
the traditional economic systems in the country and has shifted the socioeconomic
preferences. The socioeconomic growth and wellbeing of people are so
interconnected, that it is not feasible to ignore any one of them. Hence, we
have teamed with a wide cross-section of people to bring about a transformation
in the rural environment.
