Mobile Clinic



The Mobile Clinic Project, Implemented by the Don Bosco Social Action Movement Bidar, is a transformative healthcare initiative designed to address the critical health needs of 26 remote and undeserved villages within the Bidar taluka. These villages lack Primary Health Centres (PHCs) and Community Health Centres (CHCs), forcing villagers to travel to Taluka General Hospital for medical treatment, a journey that can be both time-consuming and financially burdensome. The absence of public transport facilities exacerbates this issue, leaving many without access to essential health care services.

In response to these challenges, Bosco Social Action Movement Bidar, implemented the Mobile Clinic Project to provide accessible, affordable and quality health care services to these undeserved villages. Through biweekly visits, the project provided free consultations with qualified doctor, dispensed essential medicines at no cost and facilitated referral for complex health issues and also project focused on health education and advocacy, empowering community members with knowledge about preventive health practices and the importance of regular health check-ups.
