Aster Volunteers Launch 3 New Mobile Medical Services to Provide Disaster Relief in MENA

Aster Volunteers, the global CSR arm of Aster DM Healthcare, has launched three Mobile Medical Service units from Medcare Royal Speciality Hospital, in Al Qusais to assist victims in disaster zones across the Middle East and Africa region.

The units, equipped with solar panels and a telemedicine setup, aim to deliver essential medical and healthcare services directly to disadvantaged individuals, significantly enhancing healthcare accessibility. The units will be deployed for natural disaster victims in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco through NGO Jeunes d'Atlas and for short-term missions in disaster-affected zones in the West Asia & Africa Region through Emirates Red Crescent.

Aster Volunteers Mobile Medical Services (AVMMS) is a one-of-a-kind CSR initiative aimed at bridging the gap in healthcare accessibility by providing free medical camps and disaster aid support to needy communities in remote areas. The initiative has treated over 1.4 million individuals across India, the Middle East, and Africa, positively impacting lives in regions with limited or no access to medical facilities. Future expansions include new mobile units in Rwanda, Uganda, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.

Speaking at the launch, Dr. Azad Moopen, the Founder Chairman of Aster DM Healthcare, said:

We are committed to extending our healthcare services to those in need through the AVMMS initiative. By leveraging advanced technologies and sustainable practices, we aim to make a significant impact on the health and well-being of underserved communities. Providing accessible healthcare is crucial to us, and these newly launched mobile medical units represent a pivotal step towards achieving this goal.

As the initiative expands, Aster DM Healthcare remains committed to providing accessible healthcare through innovative and sustainable solutions. The launch of three new units marks a significant milestone in this journey.
