In a commendable effort to make healthcare accessible to all, Dr. C Swaminathan, a 33-year-old doctor from Madurai, has launched a mobile clinic to provide medical services directly to the doorsteps of elderly individuals, people with disabilities, and diabetic patients. Recognizing the limited availability of healthcare facilities, Dr. Swaminathan embarked on a mission to bridge this gap by establishing the mobile clinic in 2019.

The primary objective of the mobile clinic is to ensure that medical care reaches everyone in need. Dr. Swaminathan and his dedicated team also offer palliative care to patients. They spend ample time with each patient, taking around 20 to 25 minutes to familiarize themselves with new patients and provide comprehensive treatment. For regular patients, the team spends 10 to 15 minutes during each visit.

Operating from the early hours of the morning, the mobile clinic travels up to 100 kilometers a day, attending around 15 house calls. The team's commitment and impactful work have garnered praise from the patients they serve. Mallikarjun, an 87-year-old resident, expressed relief at having the doctor visit his home instead of waiting in long queues at hospitals.

Apart from the mobile clinic, Dr. Swaminathan also runs a clinic and hosts regular health camps for the public. During the pandemic, his team conducted two vaccination camps in Madurai and assisted bedridden patients with medical equipment. Dr. Swaminathan's vision extends beyond the mobile clinic as he aims to expand services to southern districts and establish care homes for the elderly.

With his selfless dedication and unwavering commitment to healthcare, Dr. C Swaminathan is making a significant difference in the lives of those who otherwise struggle to access vital medical services.
