AIDA SBI Sanjeevani Clinic on Wheels
The AIDA SBI Clinic on Wheels is a mobile medical unit designed to address various healthcare needs in rural villages. It is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities and staffed by dedicated healthcare professionals, including a doctor, lab technician, and nurse. The program aims to achieve several objectives:
- Providing Primary Healthcare Facility: The primary objective of the program is to deliver primary healthcare services directly to rural villages. By bringing the mobile medical unit to their doorstep, the program eliminates the barriers of distance and lack of transportation that often hinder access to healthcare in remote areas. This ensures that people in rural communities have access to essential medical care, including general check-ups, consultations, basic treatments, and prescriptions.
- Improving Health Conditions: Through the Mobile OPD service, the program aims to improve the overall health conditions of the targeted locations. Regular medical check-ups and consultations can help detect health issues at an early stage and facilitate timely treatment. By addressing common ailments, chronic conditions, and other health concerns, the program contributes to the well-being and improved quality of life for individuals in these communities.
- Specialized Health Camps: In addition to the regular primary healthcare services, the program organizes specialized health camps to address specific healthcare needs. These camps focus on prevalent health issues or diseases in the area, such as diabetes, hypertension, maternal and child health, or infectious diseases. By providing specialized medical services, screenings, diagnostic tests, and treatments during these camps, the program ensures that the healthcare needs of the community are adequately met.
- Health and Hygiene Awareness Camps: To create awareness about health and hygiene issues, the program conducts awareness camps. These camps serve as platforms for disseminating information and educating the community on various health topics, such as nutrition, sanitation, vaccination, family planning, and disease prevention. The program may also organize movie screenings related to health issues and facilitate community discussions to encourage dialogue, exchange of knowledge, and promote healthy behaviors.
- Supporting Swachh Bharat Abhiyan Initiatives: The SBI Clinic on wheels aligns with the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, a national campaign for cleanliness and sanitation. The program supports this initiative by promoting hygiene practices, educating the community about the importance of cleanliness, sanitation, and waste management. It emphasizes the significance of maintaining a clean environment to prevent the spread of diseases and improve overall health and well-being.
Through these multiple objectives, the SBI Clinic on wheels program has so far reached out to 7952 patients through conducting 441 Medical out Patient Department (MoPD) camps, 398 Awareness sessions in 25 rural villages. The program provided comprehensive healthcare services, raised awareness about health issues, promoted healthy behaviors and hygiene practices, and contributed to the overall development and well-being of rural communities. By reaching out to underserved populations and addressing their healthcare needs, the program plays a vital role in reducing healthcare disparities and improving health outcomes in rural areas.
