Taking Quality health to the doorsteps in villages
With the objective of delivering quality healthcare to rural communities in Gujarat and ensuring access to affordable medical services.
To expand outreach and impact, ASK collaborates with other NGOs working in the region. Through these partnerships, satellite clinics are being developed to serve more remote villages. These centers are supported by locally trained health workers, who receive ongoing guidance and capacity-building from ASK’s medical team, including training for nurses and frontline health providers.
The medical program is led by Dr. Azariah and Dr. Dona George, who oversee clinical services and community health initiatives. The team includes qualified nursing staff who support patient care, community outreach, and preventive health monitoring. Earlier, regular village visits included tracking vital health indicators such as weight, blood pressure, and general health conditions of families, and efforts are ongoing to strengthen and resume such services consistently.
The Mobile Medical Unit operates several days a week, organizing evening health camps across the adopted villages. In addition to outreach services, the central clinic maintains a steady supply of essential medicines and provides basic treatments, dressings, and follow-up care.
To further strengthen healthcare delivery, there are plans to establish an in-patient facility, beginning with a 10-bed unit and expanding to a larger capacity over time. Efforts are also underway to identify suitable land for constructing a dedicated clinic and in-patient facility in an accessible location.
Beyond regular operations, the medical team also conducts periodic health camps in nearby districts, extending services to additional underserved communities.
