The mobile health dispensary is equipped with an MBBS doctor, a pharmacist and an ANM. The vehicle comes equipped with basic and necessary instruments and medicines required for common diseases. The MHD provides free consultation and medication such as check-up, treatment, prescription of medicines to the needy. The mobile health dispensary has received an overwhelming response from the villagers as they attended mini-medical and NISTHA camps organised in remote villages. Launched in December, NISTHA camps are organised at each sub-division for all the electricity related issues of consumers.

It has been instrumental in driving change by ensuring better and easier access of essential medical facilities to the common public. With an overwhelming response from villagers, we are further motivated to bring meaningful changes in their lives. We are working on various aspects of our CSR programs to drive significant changes at large” said Mr. Bhaskar Sarkar, CEO, TPNODL.
