NASHIK :
Maharashtra remains to be leading state in the number of COVID-19 cases. Considering immense stress and workload on doctors and medical staff, Bhartiya Jain Sanghatan in association with Force Motors has initiated a mobile doorstep dispensary facility ‘Doctor Aplya Daari’ in Nashik.
This initiative started with 3 mobile dispensary vans completely equipped with doctors, support staff, medicines moving to various economically weaker localities in Nashik as per a pre-intimated schedule. The team of doctors and medics with these vans are fully equipped to identify COVID-19 symptoms and directly infected suspect cases to the designated hospitals.
All the medicines that are prescribed or given out on free of charge basis. Mobile units can check 2,500 people every day and can examine the symptoms of around 500 patients in a day. Doctors in the vans monitor patients for cold and flu conditions and also inform patients about preventive measures to be taken against coronavirus spread.
Over 2743 residents have been checked till April 27 and more than 9 suspected COVID-19 patients were transferred to government hospitals in the last 20 days. This service will continue until Coronavirus is fully contained.
