As a part of the undertaking, we get blood checks of sufferers done to check haemoglobin and blood sugar levels. Our doctor examines the sufferers for various illnesses, and accordingly, they are given treatment and unfastened medications. The patient has to pay just Rs 10 for the treatment. We have a mobile health van that may to start with pass to every of the 9 villages twice every week, however now the same small module is going to 19 villages every week,” stated HS Phoolka.

“We have a common doctor Dr Baldev Singh Chahal (who retired from the army), workforce nurse Sumanpreet Kaur, lab technician Karamjit Singh, and helper Arashdeep Singh as a part of our group. Every day, we offer treatment to greater than a 100 villagers. The group excursions the villages which don’t have a dispensary,” stated Phoolka.
