Tribal Mobile Outreach

Reaching the Unreached

The Irular and Dalit communities in the Krishnagiri district often live in remote, inaccessible hill ranges where public transport and medical facilities are non-existent. For decades, simple ailments could become life-threatening due to the sheer distance from a hospital.

RDC launched the Tribal Mobile Outreach Medical Service in 2002 to address this critical gap. Our mobile unit, equipped with basic medicines and staffed by dedicated health workers and doctors, travels to these remote hamlets to provide doorstep healthcare.

Our Key Interventions

• Primary Care: Conducting regular health camps to treat common ailments like fever, infections, and injuries.
• Maternal Health: Prenatal and postnatal checkups to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates.
• Nutrition: Identifying malnutrition in children and providing nutritional supplements and counseling.
• Awareness: Educating the community about hygiene, sanitation, and disease prevention.
• Referrals: Facilitating transport and admission to government hospitals for serious cases.
