In this project Piramal Foundation provides medical awareness and medical facility especially in rural areas and their focus is on providing primary healthcare facilities to rural people. They provide mobile health services based on fixed day where Medical Vans with doctors & teams visit villages/areas at regular intervals, conduct diagnostic and lab testing and test reports & give treatment in real time.

The approach to design the proposal is to provide primary healthcare service at door step of beneficiaries through Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) at select Villages / Towns in identified locations. The MMU will be staffed with a medical team consisting of a Doctor & paramedic staff and equipped with basic diagnostics, medication and android tablets. Each of the targeted villages / towns would be served once in a fortnight each service session would last for 6 hours covering the entire population of village. The objective of the Program is to create a technology enabled health service that provides comprehensive health services for the identification, screening, diagnosis, referrals, monitoring and treatment of select communicable & non-communicable diseases and minor illnesses, thus managing the morbidity & mortality.

Aligned to Ujjivan strategy for reaching out for health services in areas of stress, Ujjivan has provided the MMU facilities across two states of Maharashtra (Mumbai, Nashik and Pune) and Karnataka (Bangalore) which is being operated and managed by Piramal Swasthya Management and Research Institute.
