Free healthcare through mobile medical units in Nagpur - Devendra Fadnavis

Mumbai, Date 11: Under the guidance of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, a relief healthcare initiative has been launched for the citizens of the neglected areas of Nagpur city. For this, a tripartite MoU has been signed between Sanofi India Limited, Nagpur Municipal Corporation and Piramal Health Management and Research Institute (PSMRI) and two mobile medical units (MMUs) have been operationalized.
This initiative is being implemented under Sanofi's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program. About two lakh citizens above the age of 30 in Nagpur will get free primary healthcare through this. The main objective of these units is to diagnose non-communicable diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and oral cancer on time and refer patients for necessary treatment or further hospital care.
These mobile units are operating in various areas of the city like Azad Colony, Bada Taj Bagh, Bdipeth, Binaki, Chhota Taj Bagh, Dhanteshwari Nagar, Dharampeth, Dr. Ambedkar Nagar, Ekatmata Nagar, Gittikhadan, Gopal Nagar, Jaitala, Jayanti Nagar, Mahatma Phule Chowk, Nandanvan, Pachpavali etc., and are continuously providing health services to the urban poor and underprivileged sections of the society. Along with this, health awareness, lifestyle improvement and addiction counseling services have also been included in this initiative.
This initiative is in line with the state government's vision of providing comprehensive and accessible health services, and the effective implementation of these services has been possible only with the cooperation of Nagpur Municipal Corporation. In the future, more intensive cooperation will be done with the state government to expand this initiative.
