Mobile Medical Unit August 2014

Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care. Access to health care and equitable distribution of health services are the fundamental requirements. Many backward and remote areas in our country lack basic health care infrastructure limiting access to health services at present. A large number of people in rural areas are unable to seek medical help due to variety of economic and social problems. “The groundwork of all happiness is good health”. Recognizing the paramount importance of health, Rehab India Foundation initiated Mobile Medical Unit-Hospital on wheels, in the districts of Assam, Bihar and West Bengal, to reach desperate families who struggle everyday with poverty and lack of health care.

Mobile Medical Unit has been envisaged to provide preventive, promotive and curative health care in inaccessible or remote areas and difficult terrains, which are unserved areas under usual circumstances. The mission objective of Mobile Medical Unit is to provide effective, accessible, affordable and accountable and quality health services, to promote healthy lifestyle, to integrate comprehensive primary health care, to prevent and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases, including locally endemic diseases and to serve the people of the poorest households in the remotest parts as they don’t have any clinics or hospitals to their access. Mobile Medical Units constitute one of the key innovations designed to provide health care services at the doorsteps of the rural people.

MMU is a van equipped with all basic medical equipments and medicines with a qualified doctor, pharmacist etc, to provide preventive and curative health care at the door steps of the rural people especially those living in remote and far flung, so that the immediate health care needs of the impoverished people can be assessed and treated, and proper referrals can be made when necessary. The MMU vans will visit the people on regular basis offers services such as medical consultation, dispensing free quality medicines, conducting medical counseling etc. Our mobile medical unit delivers preventive health care, educate and create awareness among people.


A total of 828 patients from Jaraguri, Model Village, Salbari, Joyma, Bansibari, Bodhutula, Akundabaria, Kothipur, Mohaldapara, Borjumala, Solva, Hajipara, Kabilpur, Balagachi, Dhumpara were benefited by our free medical checkup and medications.

Taking health care services to the doorsteps is the principle strategy behind this initiative and is intended to reach underserved areas. Starting Mobile Medical Units to cover underserved and uncovered areas like remote villages, tribal areas where there is no medical facility is a great boon for the patients.

This initiative of the Rehab India Foundation go a long way in enhancing out-reach of medical services to the remotest areas. We, the team of Rehab India Foundation, stand to achieve our goal. Empowering people throughout the backward and rural region to reach out and improve their standard of living with our best possible services and support. We take pride in that.

Loan Distribution in Hazipara VDP

The first important task for a society is to maintain itself. There must be proper food, clothing, shelter and education for its members. To satisfy all these necessities and improve their standard of living, the people of the society need a standard income. Many people in the rural region have no sufficient financial income to support their family and satisfy their basic needs. There are many difficulties and obstacles faced by the poor people in their day-to-day living. They need a source of income to placate them. The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. It is not easy to take up a business; there are various problems which have to be overcome resolutely. Skills and monetary factors are very imperative in a business. Some people though they have skill and interest, they doesn’t have favorable environment to utilize their talents.

Parents Meeting in Talera Community Center

“A Child without Education is like a bird without wings”. There are many reasons for children for not going to school. They may have to walk a long distance to school, they may not have food to eat at home, and there might be no teacher and so on. Cost is one of the major obstacles of education. Many children go through life without gaining a proper education due to parents sending children to work in an attempt to bolster and supplement the household income. 

Talera, Rajasthan: It is necessary to bring awareness among the parents on the importance of educating their children. We conducted Parents Meeting and discussed with them regarding their ward’s regularity to the tuition centre. There were 13 parents participated in the meeting. Rehab Central Zone’s Field Officers, Mr. Kamaluddin and Mr. Nur Alam were also present.

Assessment Exam in Jasola Tuition Center

Education is a fundamental human right and vital in achieving economic growth, increasing income, and sustaining a healthy society. Education is important to improve lives.

“A Child without Education is like a bird without wings”. There are many reasons for children for not going to school. They may have to walk a long distance to school, they may not have food to eat at home, and there might be no teacher and so on. Cost is one of the major obstacles of education. Many children go through life without gaining a proper education due to parents sending children to work in an attempt to bolster and supplement the household income.

To address this problem, Rehab India Foundation is running free Tuition Centre, to make less privileged children competent enough to compete with the privileged. It is for young students who perform poorly in their academics and dropouts at the primary level and end up as laborers. It provides support for students to enroll in Tuition Centers to pursue their passion and bring out their talents. 

Jasolla, Delhi: First Internal Assessment. To assess the knowledge of the children on Moral Education, exam was conducted in the Jasolla Educare centre. 30 students took up the examination out of which, most of the children performed very well.    

This is a challenge that Rehab India Foundation takes head on and strives to educate or up skill the children, in order to make them educationally sound. We concentrate on the academic excellence.  We also give due consideration to extend our tuition centres as centres of holistic human development and to bring out the hidden talents and potentialities of our children.
