Mobile medical unit donated for healthcare services in remote western Mizoram

Aizawl, Nov 11 (UNI) Chief Minister Lalduhoma today handed over a Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) intended to serve people in the Hachhek hill range in remote western Mizoram, with the entire cost of its operation and staff salaries to be borne by UDS Foundation.
The mobile medical unit, facilitated by the CSR Cell under the Chief Minister's Office, was provided with support from UDS Foundation and the Aster Volunteer Program. It was handed over to the Deputy Commissioner of Mamit district for operation in the area.
Describing the unit as a "moving hospital", the Chief Minister said it would function under Kawrthah Community Health Centre (CHC) and greatly benefit residents of Hachhek and neighbouring areas, particularly those living in remote locations with limited access to healthcare facilities.
The vehicle is equipped with various medical examination facilities and will have a doctor, a nurse and a driver on board. It will provide free medical consultations, diagnostic tests and health screenings, as well as health awareness programmes and referral services for patients requiring further treatment.
Lalduhoma expressed gratitude to UDS Foundation India and USA and the Aster Volunteer Program for supporting the project, saying their contribution would help extend free healthcare services to underserved communities.
He particularly acknowledged Reshmi Aysha, Head of CSR, Aster DM Quality Care Limited, and P. Krishna Mohan, Founder and CEO of UDS Foundation India and USA, for their efforts in making the initiative possible.
The Aster Volunteer Program provided the initial funding for the project, while UDS Foundation will meet all recurring operational expenses, including staff salaries, without placing any financial burden on the state government.
The CSR Cell was established under the Chief Minister's Office on June 11, 2024, to mobilise corporate social responsibility (CSR) funding and resources by building partnerships with major companies.
Since its establishment, the cell has organised two training programmes for NGOs and hosted Mizoram's first CSR Conclave in September this year, bringing together major companies and other stakeholders to explore opportunities for CSR investment in the state.
It has also launched the Mizoram CSR Connect, a CSR matchmaking portal designed to facilitate partnerships between companies and organisations seeking funding for development projects. The cell has been actively working to attract greater corporate investment in sectors requiring support across Mizoram. UNI ZS NST
