Mobile Medical Unit to ensure free medical consultations & basic diagnostics to rural population

 

By TIOL News Service

MUMBAI, MAR 01, 2025: A mobile medical unit (MMU) was flagged off on 27 February 2025, taking a significant step towards enhancing healthcare access for communities in the vicinity of the Mahi Banswara Rajasthan Atomic Power Project (MBRAPP). This initiative, funded through NTPC Western Region-I Headquarters (WR-I HQs), Mumbai's CSR contribution, is being implemented in partnership with the Wockhardt Foundation.

The flag-off ceremony was led by Prasenjit Pal, Executive Director (Nuclear) & Project Director, MBRAPP, in the presence of Sandeep Kumar Das, GM (Projects), Pankaj Dhyani, GM (LA & RR), Vandana Chaturvedi, Regional Head of HR, NTPC WR-I HQs, Sajeev Chaturvedi, ACE (NPCIL), along with Sarpanches of the three project-affected Panchayats, local villagers, and employees of MBRAPP. Senior representatives from the Wockhardt Foundation also graced the occasion.

Recognising the need for sustainable healthcare interventions, Chaturvedi emphasized that this initiative stemmed from the feedback received during the Mega Medical Camp organized on 6th December 2024 under NTPC WR-I's CSR initiatives. The MMU will provide free medical consultations, basic diagnostics, and medicines to the rural population, ensuring healthcare access to those who face challenges in reaching the Community Health Centre due to time and transport constraints.

Expressing his commitment to continued CSR interventions, Pal stated:

"At MBRAPP, we believe that our responsibilities extend beyond power generation. This Mobile Medical Unit is a testament to our commitment to the well-being of our communities. We will continue strengthening our efforts to foster socio-economic development through meaningful CSR initiatives."

The local Sarpanches welcomed this initiative, highlighting how it would greatly benefit women and the elderly and ensure better healthcare accessibility for those in remote areas.

With this step, MBRAPP and NTPC WR-I HQs reaffirm their commitment to holistic development, ensuring that the benefits of industrial growth translate into tangible improvements in the lives of the communities they serve.
