Purpose

 Project Arogya Sampada ensures that every individual in the region has access to medical facilities and qualified doctors and healthcare professionals. This project focuses on the vulnerable section of society such as the senior citizens, mothers and children, girls and the tribal community at large. We work in collaboration with Mulshi Taluka Health Department to provide crucial knowledge about health and well-being to the targeted community and students residing in these villages and encourage them to spread this knowledge further.

Objective

The villages in Taluka Mulashi are located in remote areas, which makes it challenging for the residents to access quality healthcare services. To address this issue, the RSB Foundation along with doctors and health workers, from Mulshi Taluka Health Department runs a mobile health unit van 4 times a month covering 3 villages a day and conducts regular health checkups, child and mother vaccinations, and other necessary medical services such as blood pressure, sugar, hypertension, eye check-up etc. We intend to provide awareness on healthy living and other health-related issues in the targeted community.

Initiative

We conduct weekly camps covering three villages in each visit, for a total of 2 hrs per village totalling 48 camps per year. We have provided each patient with a unique health card that mentions their Name, age, height, weight, date of visit, diagnosis, prescription and progress on follow-up visits. As of now, we have reached to more than 1500 beneficiaries. Medicines are provided if needed free of cost. The team also uses this opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining good health and other topics such as breast cancer awareness, COVID vaccinations, menstrual hygiene and other vaccinations pertaining to mother and child. We also do home visits to bedridden or very elderly people.
