Mobile Health Care Unit: To provide medical care to the poor communities in remote Islands, EHA engaged PILAR Health centre, a local Catholic Institution, to run mobile health care unit with a team of health care professionals. Necessary support is provided to them. The mobile team operates from Rangat in Middle Andamans and reaches out to remote villages. Charges are minimal and affordable. Referrals are made to either PILAR Health centre or to the government Community Health Centre at Rangat. The major focus of this intervention is to make basic health care facilities accessible to people in remote areas.
