"Diabetes is increasing rapidly among metro cities due to changes in lifestyle. Its symptoms are silent so should be detected on time to avoid future complications, but due to increase in pricing of lab tests, few people avoid to do it" said Dr Rahul Ghule, director of one rupee clinic.
With the vision of providing quality healthcare for all, the One-rupee clinic was established by Dr Rahul Ghule in 2017. The clinics are placed at 25 local train stations in the Mumbai metropolitan region.
Dr Rahul Ghule says, “Our highly qualified medical team works round the clock to provide affordable and quality healthcare for everyone, especially to the locals and commuters. The token charge of rupee one as a consultation fee along with improved low-cost diagnostic tests ranging from Rs 10 to Rs 100 serves in the best interest of an ordinary citizen with a dearth of money. The health centres also act as an emergency unit in case of rail accidents.”
