During celebratory events held at Nawan Nagar, we offer free medical services around the clock for attendees.
Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra organizes charitable social service programs that provide basic medical care at medical camps. Medical equipment and other medical supplies are donated to hospitals to support them in serving those in need of medical attention. Blood donation camps are organized in collaboration with authorities and pilgrimage camps offer medical care for the annual Kawar Yatra pilgrims during Sawan month.

Medical Camps
The Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra (VMRK) medical camp program began in 2012 in Haryana and quickly expanded to serve communities in other states: Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, and Karnataka, and the union territories of Delhi and Chandigarh. The medical camps serve communities in slum areas and villages that don’t have ready access to medical facilities. We also hold medical camps at traditional brick factories so that the laborers can access free medical care and free medicines without leaving their workplace.

Medical Equipment for Hospitals (pre Covid-19)
Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra supports hospitals by donating wheelchairs, stretchers, ECG machines, oxygen cylinders, oxygen machines, multipara monitors, blood pressure apparatus, glucometers, nebulizers, pulse oximeters, portable foetal dopplers, delivery sets, surgical drums, kidney trays, Ambu bags, surgical instruments, and bed sheets.
Some hospitals have limited supplies of appropriate equipment and medicines. Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra arranges donations of the required items to help these hospitals provide better service to people in need who visit these hospitals.
Blood Donation Camps (pre Covid-19)
Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra collaborates with the Red Cross Society, government hospitals and blood banks to organize blood donation camps in different states. We arrange events and programs to promote these blood donation camps, and provide the facilities and refreshments. We also encourage our volunteers and event and program attendees to donate blood.
The government hospitals send their team of doctors to the camps. Our volunteers assist by providing refreshments to the blood donors and doctors. We serve them fresh fruit juice, fruits, cheese, milk, and lemon water. Every donor receives a blood donation certificate from the hospital in attendance.
Free Food for Attendants (Pre Covid-19)
In India, it is customary that attendants accompany patients who have to remain in hospitals for some days. The attendants are the caregivers who help their patients with daily activities such as personal grooming, feeding, helping the patient move around, and ensuring that the patient is comfortable.
Patients may come from far away towns, villages, or even from different states. Often, it is not possible for their attendants to travel back and forth daily during the patient’s stay at the hospital. Therefore, the attendants have to make their own arrangements. Some patients can barely afford to pay for their medical fees, much less pay for their attendants’ food and daily necessities. These attendants have to struggle to arrange their own meals while taking care of their patients.
Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra supports these attendants with nutritious and healthy food cooked at our centers. The hot cooked food is brought to the hospitals and served to the attendants.
Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra has been serving food to attendants, free of cost, at government hospitals in Chandigarh and Delhi. These programs strive to serve those who are undergoing hardship or struggles. Sharing with others in their time of need is inspired by the organization’s focus on caring and sharing.
Pilgrimage Medical Care
In 2014, Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra launched its program of week long Kanwar Camps to offer medical facilities, food, and rest to the pilgrims. Thereafter, the number of camps grew each year. In 2019, Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra organized 50 Kanwar Camps in the Indian states/union territories of Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Chandigarh, Delhi, Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. In 2022, after a 2-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra organized 53 Kanwar Yatra camps to resume this charitable program to serve the kanwarias during their sacred pilgrimage.
Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra continues to extend its pilgrimage services. From July 1 to August 5, 2022, Vishav Manav Ruhani Kendra supported pilgrims undertaking the Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra 2022 by providing a team of 18 doctors, 28 paramedical staff, and 3 fully equipped ambulances and drivers. The teams served in rotation at the health facilities located between Baltal and the last unit before the Amarnath Holy Cave.
