The scheme is being run by the Urban Administration and Development Department of the state government. Free-of-cost treatment facilities for various diseases are provided to needy women and adolescent girls through well-equipped mobile medical units with an all-women staff.

Lab tests of about 22,831 women have been conducted and free-of-cost medicines have been distributed to over 1.22 lakh women through the dedicated mobile medical units. The scheme has been proven beneficial for the women indulged in labour work who can’t visit hospitals due to time and money constraints.
