Wockhardt Foundation has a concept of Mobile Medical Units, which comprises of its Mobile Health Reach & Right to Vision vans.

When the Mobile Medical Unit set its course for pan India at the beginning of 2010, it was enveloped by a plethora of patients wherever the unit touched. July was the month, which held the benchmark of 2 lakh patients medically screened for the year.

Under the Mobile Medical Health programme, vans reach at the doorstep of the underprivileged, conducting medical examination, distributing free medicines and nutritional supplements to patients.
