The 'Narayana on Wheels' initiative provides mobile, affordable medical care to underserved populations in Nellore, India. Launched by Minister Ponguru Narayana, the program focuses on eye and dental health, having already served over 15,000 patients.
Why it matters
Mobile clinics serve as a critical bridge for healthcare delivery in regions where low-income residents face barriers to accessing corporate-standard medical facilities.
‘Narayana on Wheels,’ an initiative launched by the Narayana group of medical institutions, has brought corporate treatment within reach of poor patients in the Nellore constituency.
Developed as a state-of-the-art mobile clinic with a financial outlay of ₹3 crore, ‘Narayana on Wheels’ is equipped with all the necessary medical equipment and moves to identified destinations on time, accompanied by medical specialists who diagnose patients and offer treatment on the spot.
A medical camp organised on July 11-12, 2026, in the city’s 49th division included ‘Narayana Netra Jyoti,’ focusing on eye care, and ‘Narayana Dantha Suraksha,’ specializing in dental issues.
Minister of Municipal Administration and Urban Development Ponguru Narayana, who also heads the Narayana Medical Institutions, launched the initiative of free medical camps in all the divisions of the Nellore Municipal Corporation (NMC) that fall under his Nellore City constituency.
