Free and Accessible Healthcare for Textile Workers in Rural Communities
Textile worker communities in rural areas tend to lack access to basic medical healthcare – affordable transportation and time off work are often major barriers to traveling to medical facilities in urban centers.
THE PROBLEM
In rural areas, textile worker communities often rely on local water sources, such as rivers, which are heavily polluted by effluents from the very factories they work in. Limited access to hospitals—due to long distances, lack of public transport, and financial constraints
— means many community members suffer from untreated chronic or serious health conditions. What may begin as minor issues often escalate into major health risks without timely care.

WHAT WE DO
Our Solution
AGROHO has launched a mobile hospital to serve underprivileged textile worker communities. Housed in a fully equipped truck and staffed by doctors and nurses, the hospital
- provides free, regular medical check-ups and treatments
- including necessary medications and supplies
- offers informal awareness sessions on key health topics throughout the year
It combines medical care, health education, disease prevention, and community engagement to improve overall health & well-being. To date, two mobile hospital trucks have been purchased, modified, and are in continuous operation.
