Arogya Sena’s Charitable Diagnostic Centre
To make medical diagnostic facilities affordable to the poor Arogya Sena took a bold step and inaugurated its first ‘ Arogya Sena Charitable Diagnostic Centre’ at Dhayari, Pune on 9th sept 2007. This centre had a computerized pathology section, X–ray and ECG facility backed by highly qualified medical team. All the tests were made available at less than 50% cost. Around 2000 patients availed benefit of this Centre. (Unfortunately because of difficulty in meeting monthly expenses the centre was ultimately closed on 1 Dec.08.)
