Free Village Clinics Provide Critical Healthcare Access in Rural India
Dr Ramana Rao's Free Village Clinic in Bengaluru has provided free healthcare to an estimated 2.5 million patients over 53 years, offering consultations, diagnostics, and medicines every Sunday with a team of specialists. Separately, rural Gujarat's Urgent Care Centres, run by Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care, provide round-the-clock emergency care to bridge gaps between basic health sub-centres and hospitals, stabilizing patients before transfer. Both initiatives address critical healthcare access challenges in rural India through free, community-focused services.
