Yesterday we left Pune and went up into the mountains where we were able to see a different side of india much different than life in the bigger city. Several India doctors hopped on the bus with us to help with the screening of over a hundred people for diabetes and hypertension at the only building that people from all around the area came to deal with any health related issue. Inside the building there is a room for dental work, for surgery, for eye exams, for delivering babies, and other general examination rooms. Outside of the building is the "medical waste pit" and there is also a well that people would come to for water from all directions.
Many of the women would carry jugs of water on their heads.
The day ran smooth and many people were diagnosed with diabetes, Kunal will probably update everyone with the numbers later. Thanks for reading!
