MEDICAL SUPPORT PROGRAME

A good network of well-equipped dispensaries and clinical laboratories are being run by SMK at Galta, Jhotwara, Ajmer and Jodhpur. These dispensaries have professionally sound and competent doctors and paramedical staff to cater to their needs. These medical units monitor the patients regularly for any re-occurrence of the symptoms of leprosy disease and educate them in maintaining the required hygienic conditions. Besides this scheduled job, these dispensaries offer free general medical facilities including free medicines to the village surrounding them.

SMK's Ajmer centre is mainly providing medical services to the leprosy patients and their families. These services include the treatment and care of both leprosy patients and leprosy cured patients. Main operational areas of SMK in Ajmer are Dargah and outside Dargah areas. SMK's Ajmer office is situated in Civil Lines area. Two part time trained doctors here provide their services to the beneficiaries living mainly in and around operational areas. About 90 children of leprosy patients and their communities are being provided complete educational support also.
