Geriatrics, Neurology, and Diet Counseling. The clinic is designed to provide
comprehensive screenings and early detection of health issues, bringing
high-quality healthcare directly to the poor, particularly those in suburban
areas who may otherwise have limited access to medical care.
This mobile
unit is equipped with state of the art equipment capable of delivering the essential primary care and diagnostics that one would expect from a
hospital. With the ability to conduct essential tests and provide expert
consultations, the Kauvery Mobile Wellness Clinic ensures that individuals
receive timely medical attention, which is crucial for preventing and managing
chronic conditions.
“Beyond diagnostics and treatment, the Mobile Wellness
Clinic will play a pivotal role in health education. The clinic will conduct
community awareness sessions and free medical screening camps in schools, colleges, and local underprivileged communities, focusing on preventive health measures. We
are honored and pleased to collaborate with Kauvery Hospital, a leading
healthcare institution in the state who have also been doing various activities
in the community to raise awareness on preventive health. We believe the
expertise offered by Kauvery Hospital will enable the project to reach maximum
population in the state”, says Rtn Dr P

Speaking at
the event, Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Co-founder and Executive Director of Kauvery
Group of Hospitals said, “The launch of the Kauvery Mobile Wellness Clinic
is our way of giving back to the
community. Preventive Health is a key
focus area where we have been consistently creating awareness on early
diagnosis. However, when it comes to the semi rural and rural areas, access to
timely healthcare is still lacking, and through this project we aim to bridge
this gap. This initiative is a step forward in making
quality healthcare accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial
status. The project aligns with our mission of making great healthcare
affordable and accessible. I thank Rotary Club of Madras North represented by
Dr P Sathish - Chairman , CSR and Bay
Forge represented by Mr Julian Christopher , Managing Director, for
collaborating with us in this noble initiative.”
The Mobile
Wellness Clinic shall conduct over 12 camps per month, screening around 600
individuals monthly. The clinic will primarily
operate in Chennai and extend its services to the surrounding districts of
Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, and Chengalpattu.
