HEALING TOUCH - a Mobile Healthcare Project of Specialists for the Needy. Healthcare is critical for each and everyone. Unfortunately, the basic healthcare needs of the lower strata tend to be compromised not only in terms of affordability, but accessibility and simplicity as well. Standard and advanced diagnostic tests and specialist and super-specialist medical ethical opinions are even not accessible to some of the middle income groups as well. While the governmental agencies do their best, there is a vacuum of healthcare deficiencies in our society even today.

‘Healing Touch’ has attempted to make a difference. It is able to do that because of a single minded belief that healthcare for the poor & the needy should aspire for the same standards of excellence as healthcare for the rich; above all, it must reach out to where the poor actually live and work. Indeed, reaching out to the patient rather than the patient reaching out to the doctor is absolutely critical in a socio-economic situations such as ours, where potential loss of wages (in addition to cost of treatment) often hold people back from seeking medical care. Through Mobile clinics that visits the villages, ‘Healing Touch’ provides quality medical & dental care- using the latest equipment and with the support of qualified, dedicated doctors, paramedics and health volunteers.

The emphasis is not merely on treatment but on prevention and care as well as education and guidance. ‘Healing Touch’ offers subsidized medical services through a custom-built equipped, air-conditioned, power backup medical van. These services are conducted everyday (Friday Holiday) across the villages of Goa. It parks at the different parishes and panchayat's in Goa wherein patients residing in that area avail of this medical facility. Onsite health camps for village schools are also be conducted. This onsite diagnostic & treatment medical van is backed up with associations with leading medical institutions in the city for more detailed treatment at a subsidized price.
