Our Medical Outreach efforts is aimed at bringing free and accessible healthcare services to different stakeholders, especially women and children. We collaborate with qualified medical personnel, through our volunteer model; who speak the local dialect of the people as they address issues one on-one and in an atmosphere that is non judgmental and unbiased.
Medical teams, including US doctors volunteering their time, typically see 200 to 300 patients each day, as we spend three days at every location; providing professional services including diagnosis, consultation and medications, at no cost to the villagers.
