MESCO’s MEDICAL AID SCHEMES
MESCO has been providing Medical Assistance for the last over three decades and assisting patients undergo heart surgery, for dialysis and other treatments. MESCO has been trying to do its little bit, to help poor and needy patients through the following schemes:
HIGH COST MEDICAL AID (HCMA): This scheme aims to provide Medical Aid for the patients undergoing heart surgeries, cochlear implant and for other ailments excluding cancer. Under renal failure we provide dialysis cost for a period of 6 months.
GENERAL MEDICAL AID (GMA): This scheme provides smaller amount for minor surgery like cataract, purchase of prosthesis, pathological investigations, C. T. Scan, MRI, and Angiography. The patients in need of medication are helped with medicine for a period of 6 months .
T. B. RELIEF SCHEME: Cases of 1st line (Pulmonary Tuberculosis) are provided assistance. At any given point of time their number of cases is 25. These cases are provided financial assistance for medicines and pathological investigations under a closely monitored scheme.
Mobile Dispensary: MESCO is running 3 Mobile Clinics, 2 in Mumbai City and one in Kausa Mumbra near Thane with the help of qualified M.B.B.S. doctors and qualified compounders. Each Mobile Clinic services 80-100 patients daily.
It has been observed that most slums and backward areas not only have insufficient medical facilities, but more importantly even the so called “Doctors” practicing in the area are mostly not qualified but quacks, resulting in poor diagnosis and therefore improper treatment, many a times resulting in deterioration of health of the patient and at times leading to complications.
