Currently, high blood pressure cases are on the rise and the problem can be cured if treated early. But, due to the lack of awareness, people don't go for it, which gradually gives birth to other problems. 

In order to bring blood pressure cases in control, 1 Rupee Clinic has decided to start a camp wherein they will be visiting houses to conduct a free blood-pressure test. 

This camp is going to kick-off from April 5, 2018.

After taking tests, these nurses and medical assistants will visit the same houses again after 15 days to keep themselves updated.


In the span of 11 months, we registered 47,000 patients out of which 14,000 were of blood-pressure. Hence, we decided to start a medical camp wherein we will get to reach out to approximately one lakh people," Dr Rahul Ghule, Founder, 1 Rupee Clinic.

From April 5, sisters and assistants working at 1 Rupee Clinic are going to visit houses in Byculla, Dadar, Kurla, and Ghatkopar. 

Until now, 1 Rupee Clinic has managed to open 17 clinics where there's a barcode system which helps doctors to maintain records of the patients. 

Apart from this, 1 Rupee Clinic has also provided a membership card and that too at affordable rates. 

Along with this, 1 Rupee Clinic will be launching teleconsultation from April 5, 2018. Patients will now be able to communicate directly with doctors. People in need can contact this number — 9349347272.
