Basic medical care and free medicines are provided at medical camps held at VMRK centers, slum areas, remote villages, and during various pilgrimages. 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.

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 camps are held at VMRK centers throughout the year and during special celebratory events.
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. We also organize medical camps during pilgrimages, some of which involve arduous treks across high-altitude mountainous terrains.

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.
