We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
St. Mary’s Clinic Programs were opened in 2003, and offer subsidized medical care to local villagers through five rural clinics. These health care centers offer crucial, life-saving care to hundreds of rural patients every month. Unlike government or private clinics, St. Mary’s will never refuse treatment to patients. Nursing service is free; other clinics often mark health services up to four times their base cost. At St. Mary’s, patients pay only what they can for necessary medications. The clinics also offer a free yearly check-up to local schoolchildren, and run free medical camps in conjunction with medical students from the University of Pondicherry. Our goal is to work for the benefit of the economically weaker sections of rural communities by providing basic health care.
