CARE

Total Health brings healthcare of international standards to villages and forests across India. Where we can’t set up physical clinics, we take weekly mobile clinics and hold medical camps, ensuring that even those in hard-to-reach areas receive the care they deserve.

 

Health Consults

MOBILE CLINICS

These are vans equipped with drug stores, a laboratory, a generator and running water, that cover villages in Thavanampalle and Irala mandal. The driver takes a doctor, a nurse and a technician to the doorstep of villagers, where they are offered outpatient services. The space where the vans park, is marked out in consultation with the village leaders, and can be anything from a temple complex, a community-owned property, or even the canopy of a large tree.

SATELLITE CLINICS

Shortly after the mobile clinics began operations, two satellite clinics were inaugurated in Thavanampalle and Irala, so the interior rural community could access healthcare. Most patients in Aragonda suffer from hypertension and diabetes that need periodic management and following up. In Amrabad, the satellite clinic in Mallapur mainly treats Chenchu tribal people, who often come with nutritional deficiencies and seasonal and hygiene related illnesses.
