December 1, 2023 | by srisatyadivyamritam@gmail.com

Sri Sathya Sai Trust For Universal Welfare has been providing succour to needy in various fields including providing free healthcare. In addition to the upcoming free of cost comprehensive cancer treatment hospital ‘Sri Sathya Sai Divyaamritam’ near Thatipudi reservoir near Visakhapatnam, and the functioning dialysis centres Sai Soukhyam , the trust is also taking free primary healthcare to rural areas through medical camps.

The trust, with Bhagawan Baba’s Inspiration, is taking up the task to reach and take free medical services to a Village every week! Every month there will be 4 Medical camps and by Bhagawan Baba’s 100th Birthday, our volunteers have offered to dedicate 100 medical camps to mark the most beautiful occasion of 100th Birthday of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba!

Today, 1st December, the team launched the 100-week Rural Medical Services with Mushidapalle Village in S.Kota mandal in Vizianagaram district.

151 people benefited with medical screenings, of whom, 42 consulted the general physician. While 30 women used the services of the gynecologist, 3 patients used the dentist’s availability. Advanced consultations like oncology (16 beneficiaries) and cardiology (6 beneficiaries) were also made available. About 12 people were screened for BP and Diabetes. 36 were screened for ophthalmology, where 15 were provided with Spectacles and 7 were referred for cataract surgery. About 47 used the services of the orthopaedic. Medicines prescribed were provided free of cost to the beneficiaries.

We thank our Esteemed CSR partner GIC Housing Finance Ltd the team of doctors and our volunteer team for the noble task of making healthcare and screening available at rural areas, as villagers do not proactively visit healthcare centers in towns to screen themselves.
