Help Dr. Ramana Rao's Village Clinic treat patients free of cost



Dr. Ramana Rao started his free village clinic on the very next dayafter passing his MBBS on August 15, 1973 in T.Begur, located 35 km from Bangalore on the Bangalore-Pune National Highway. His service has been running uninterrupted since 44 years every Sunday. It is the world's longest serving free clinic. Dr. Rao’s wife and his two sons (who are also doctors) have joined him in this noble endeavour. His son Dr Charit Bhograj is an interventional cardiologist, and Dr Abhijit Bhograj is an endocrinologist.

Most of the patients arriving at the clinic are the elderly. They are first screened by Dr. Rao before being split according to the complaints. Later, the paramedical staff report back to Dr. Rao with findings to seek the course of treatment.
Then again, all patients who come to the clinic on a Sunday — sometimes as many as 2,000 — are provided free food by Dr. Rao making the visit from long distances less painful for some people. And, most of the dozen staff at the clinic are volunteers from villages or former patients of Dr Rao.

“I came here for the first time eight years ago with my mother. I started volunteering seven years ago because I was impressed and I wanted to help,” says the volunteer Baba Jan, an auto-rickshaw driver from Gauribidanur, some 60 km away, who helps Dr Rao at the village clinic on Sundays
As it is understood by most of us, the cost of medical services has escalated - primarily the cost of medicines. However, this has not been a deterrent for Dr. Rao. In fact, he has added more healthcare services, by attending to patients for oral health, skin and eye care. Already, medicines, injections and nebulisation were given free of cost to patients. Besides, free cataract surgery is also done at the clinic.

Dr. Rao needs support to offer the best of healthcare services to the rural poor and give them back their dignity. The funds raised will be used to buy medicines, nebulizers, injections for the village clinic. Help Dr. Rao to continue to serve the ever growing number of rural patients who line up in the queues with the hope to get cured.
Your support will go directly towards his trust Raj Prakash Trust which works towards providing free medical treatment for thousands of rural communities who cannot afford the treatment.
