The Mobile Medical Van, a joint initiative by the Rotary Club of Chennai Towers (RCCT) and the Chennai Liver Foundation (CLF), has been a lifeline for underserved rural communities. It conducts health camps focusing on diabetes, hypertension, viral hepatitis, and metabolic screenings.
Currently, the van provides testing for non-communicable diseases, liver disease screening, dental hygiene checks, and general consultations. Patients are linked to appropriate care when needed. Plans are underway to introduce a mobile ultrasonogram to assess fatty liver disease, a growing health concern.
By offering preventive healthcare, this initiative helps reduce the burden on hospitals and aligns with Tamil Nadu’s public health goals. “RCCT has been supporting health and education initiatives for the underprivileged since 1998,” says Club President Rtn Shalin Shah.
