For patients and staff of emergency medical facilities in remote tribal villages, the last thing they need to worry about is if the water they are drinking is safe.
GPM thanks long-term corporate partner Eureka Forbes for working with us to supply clean-water purification units to eight primary health care centers and a government rural hospital in the tribal districts where GPM operates.
Eureka Forbes Institute of Environment technicians and GPM staff installed four water purifying units in the Mokhada subdistrict Primary Health Centers of Washala, Moranda, Ase and Khodala and the Jawhar subdistrict Primary Health Centers in Jambsar, Sakur, Nandgaon and Sakerasat. These water purifying units provide 80-100 patients and medical staff with safe-drinking water, every day.
A larger water-purifying unit, with a 150-use capacity was installed in the only public hospital in Mokhada, the Mokhada Rural Hospital (MRH).
Eureka Forbes has graciously provided all units with a year free maintenance contract and Gabriel Project staff check and manage the water -purifying units on a weekly basis to make sure that the patients and medical staff have safe-drinking water, at all times, in these medical facilities.
