Care Of The Underprivileged
Our gynaecologist from MATRUSEVA is visiting the female ward at the Yerawada prisons once a week to examine the female inmates and treat them for health problems specific to women. The Hb count, which was earlier at an average of 8 among the female inmates, has now improved to 11 among most of them. They are now better off with vaginal infections well controlled and their other ailments well attended to.

Blood samples are drawn where HIV is suspected and the reports are sent from MATRUSEVA Laboratories to the prison authorities, free of cost. It is reported that the weekly visit of the gynaecologist is greatly helping the female inmates for improved quality of health. Screening for cancer early detection is however a part of the whole effort while examining the inmates, although the main focus is to provide improved quality of health to these women.
