Arogya Kiran runs on a simple belief: a diagnosis without follow-up is just paperwork. Our mobile clinic — a converted ambulance with a lab technician, ANM and pharmacist — visits 28 villages on a fixed 30-day rotation. Each visit screens for anemia, blood pressure, diabetes and childhood malnutrition, with medicines dispensed on the spot and referrals to the PHC recorded in a duplicate book — one copy stays with the family.
In 2023-24 we conducted 342 camps, screened 19,400 people and reduced moderate anemia among adolescent girls in our blocks from 41% to 27% in two years.
Field practice
- Fixed-day camps — villagers know the date without being told
- Duplicate record books for every household
- PHC linkage — referrals tracked until closure
