Initially operated by Wockhardt Foundation, the mobile medical clinic van is created to cater to about 9,600 patients in 2 months, serving around 200 patients daily. It will be operated by a team comprising of 1 doctor, 1 pharmacist, and 1 driver to cover the Gurugram district area and will be conducting free OPD/ health screening sessions for the locals. To maintain regular track of the vehicle, the van is equipped with a GPS system, enabling the administrators to monitor the progress of the van on a regular basis. The van will also offer free basic health services and will be working towards creating awareness around sanitation, hygiene, mother and child healthcare, safe drinking water, immunisation, anemia, de-worming, vector-borne diseases, HIV, snakebites, diabetes, and tuberculosis.
Facilities/kits to diagnose malaria, hepatitis, dengue, typhoid, blood sugar, blood pressure, and other medical ailments will be on-boarded on the van. Along with this, the van will also have provisions to refer complicated cases to specialty hospitals.
