Mobile Clinics Services of the Anuradhapura Kidney Protection Foundation
Recognizing the growing number of undiagnosed kidney patients in Rajarata, the Anuradhapura Kidney Protection Foundation, with the support of the Department of Health, carries out village-level screening programs.
Mobile clinics are conducted across villages in the Anuradhapura District in response to requests from local volunteer groups. People over the age of 16 undergo urine and blood testing, and those suspected of kidney disease are referred to hospitals for further treatment.
The following is a summary of the mobile clinics conducted over the past six years.
