Raj Prakash Paul launches low cost mobile medical units in Telangana
Lord’s Church, Hyderabad pastor, Raj Prakash Paul initiated an innovative thought to help the people of Telangana, especially those from rural backgrounds. In collaboration with VERA Smart Hospitals, he set up 66 Mobile Medical Units and named it as b SOZO buses on Thursday for Covid and Post-Covid treatments.
In the first phase, 33 buses were flagged off by the Minister of Municipal Administration, Urban Development & IT, K Taraka Ramarao, witnessed by Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar, Hyderabad City Police Commissioner Anjani Kumar IPS, TRS Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav and The Lord’s Church elders with Pastor Raj Prakash Paul. KTR said, “This collaboration has come up with an idea of serving people and to make healthcare accessible to the rural areas through technology integration and affordability”.
The objective of this project is to help people who are affected with covid and unable to afford treatment expenses in corporate hospitals. These buses are equipped with 8 beds with enough oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators, highend medical kits, ventilators. Each bed has a camera and geo tracking system where patient relatives can monitor and track bus location. Each bus will have one doctor, two nurses and two technical staff on board and a toll-free number to contact.
Pastor Raj Prakash paul spoke to the media that this MMU will charge a very less fee and if the patient is not able to afford that nominal amount, then the service is completely free of cost. Any one can make use of this service irrespective of religion. First phase 33 buses will be distributed to all the districts of telangana and will be available for public very soon.
Paul said the meaning of b SOZO is “be healed” or “be redeemed” and this name aptly suites for this generous initiative because that is what Jesus asked us to help people who are in needy.
