    What is it?

    Mobile Medical Units (MMUs) are fully equipped healthcare vans staffed by qualified doctors, nurses, paramedics, and support personnel that travel to remote and underserved communities to deliver essential primary healthcare services at the doorstep of beneficiaries. These units provide doctor consultations, free medicine distribution, basic diagnostic facilities, health screening, preventive healthcare services, health awareness sessions, and referral support for advanced treatment when required.

    IMPACT: Provides primary care, diagnostics & medicines to populations with no access to healthcare facilities, especially in conflict zones (Kashmir/Ladakh) and tribal belts (Melghat) and remote villages.
