The
“Care
on
Wheels”
program
is
a
mobile
medical
unit
offering
comprehensive
health
services
tailored
to
the
needs
of
large
crowds.
Key
services
include
general
consultations
by
qualified
and
registered
MBBS
physicians,
the
distribution
of
medicines
by
licensed
pharmacists,
vital
checkups
such
as
diabetes
and
hemoglobin
testing,
emergency
ambulance
services
for
critical
situations,
first
aid
and
health
awareness
sessions
aimed
at
educating
pilgrims
on
hygiene
and
preventive
health
practices.
This
initiative
strives
to
achieve
a
profound
impact
in
several
critical
areas.
Offering
timely
medical
assistance,
it
addresses
injuries,
dehydration,
and
emergencies,
reducing
complications
for
pilgrims
and
staff.
Quick
intervention
also
helps
prevent
the
spread
of
infections
in
crowded
environments.
On-site
medical
units
ensure
healthcare
accessibility
to
everyone,
overcoming
financial
and
geographical
barriers.
Furthermore,
the
initiative
promotes
enhanced
awareness
of
hygiene
and
preventive
measures,
fostering
healthier
practices
among
attendees.
These
efforts
collectively
contribute
to
a
safer,
more
positive,
and
more
fulfilling
experience
for
millions
of
pilgrims
at
the
Maha
Kumbh
Mela.
Due
to
excessive
crowding
at
Prayagraj
Chheoki
Junction
on
29th
January
2025,
the
Railway
staff
requested
our
assistance.
Considering
the
urgency
of
the
situation,
the
IGF
Medical
&
Support
team
immediately
stepped
in
to
help
without
hesitation.
