BAPS Mobile Medical Vans. The Sanstha has also gauged a need for medical aid in interior villages where patients do not have easy access to hospitals or health centers. The ideal way to reach them is by Mobile Medical Vans (MMVs). BAPS now has 6 MMVs operating in tribal areas. These vans now cover nearly the whole tribal belt of Gujarat. Each van has a doctor, a pharmacist and a driver, and carries enough medical supplies for common diseases and treatment. The MMV has a fixed itinerary, staying in each village for half a day, covering 12 villages in its six day weekly agenda. These vans are now treating an average of nearly 14,000 patients every month, providing consultation and free medicines worth more than Rs. 360 per day.
Total 6 doctors are giving their services in this Mobile Medical Vans.
