Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet, a leading healthcare institution, launched the Mobile Wellness Clinic, a major initiative under CSR Project of Kauvery Hospital, Rotary Club of Madras North and Bay Forge. This ambitious project aims to bridge healthcare accessibility gaps in Chennai and its surrounding districts by offering free medical screenings and consultations to the underprivileged.
Ma. Subramanian – Minister for Health and Family Welfare and Dha. Velu – MLA (Mylapore constituency) inaugurated the mobile unit, which is expected to benefit over 100,000 individuals by providing timely medical interventions and raising health awareness in the community.
The clinic is a state-of-the-art mobile medical unit equipped with advanced diagnoses, including ECG, EchoCardiogram, X-rays, and BMD scanners. It offers a wide range of services across various specialities such as general medicine, diabetology, cardiology, dermatology, nephrology, pulmonology, orthopaedics, oncology, geriatrics, neurology, and diet counselling. The clinic is designed to provide comprehensive screenings and early detection of health issues, bringing high-quality healthcare directly to the poor, particularly those in suburban areas who may otherwise have limited access to medical care.
“The clinic will conduct community awareness sessions and free medical screening camps in schools, colleges, and local underprivileged communities, focusing on preventive health measures. We believe the expertise offered by Kauvery Hospital will enable the project to reach the maximum population in the state,” said Rtn Dr.P.Sathish Chairman – CSR, Rotary Club of Madras North.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-founder and Executive Director of Kauvery Group of Hospitals said, “The launch of the Kauvery Mobile Wellness Clinic is our way of giving back to the community. In semi-rural and rural areas, access to timely healthcare is still lacking, and through this project, we aim to bridge this gap.”
The Mobile Wellness Clinic shall conduct over 12 camps per month, screening around 600 individuals monthly. The clinic will primarily operate in Chennai and extend its services to the surrounding districts of Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, and Chengalpattu.
