 Mobile Health Outreach Programme
The Mobile Health Outreach Programme which is being implemented in the Guna District in Madhya Pradesh has extended its reach to 9 more tribal villages with virtually no medical services or doctors available. Also, due to ill connectivity of roads in the area the emergency cases cannot reach the District Hospital at time. The outreach activity has started providing basic medical care facilities and we have received good response from the community of Guna District.
