Public Health Arogya Raksha Yojana Health Micro-insurance Scheme (ARYMIS)
Launched in February 2005 in collaboration with Narayana Hrudayalaya Hospital and ICICI Lombard General Insurance Company, ARYMIS provides high quality, yet affordable healthcare to economically weaker urban and rural communities.

Arogya Raksha Clinics
5 Arogya Rakha Clinics support ARYMIS. Each clinic has:

- a full-time doctor
- a BioCare pharmacy stocking highly subsidized generic   drugs
- a Laboratory offering basic lab tests, at discounted rates
- a Mobile Medical Service to enable the clinic doctor and staff   to travel to and provide consultation at remote villages

In the past two years, more than 400 people have undergone surgeries of which 38 patients have had major heart surgeries. Our clinics and network hospitals have, so far, treated close to 40,000 patients for minor ailments.

Health Camps
General and specialized health camps are conducted in remote areas where good medical facilities are not available. These camps provide cardiac, neurological, ophthalmic, orthopedic, gynecological and general health checks. Organised tri-monthly, every camp is attended by an average of 300 people.

Preventive Health Education
We recruit and train members from local communities to conduct workshops on health and sanitation education, with special emphasis on common ailments, pediatric & gynecological illnesses, nutrition and HIV/AIDS.

Other Public Health Initiatives:
- We have part-funded a Mobile Diabetic Foot Clinic run by   the Jain Institute of Vascular Sciences, Bangalore.
- We will partner Karuna Trust to run two Primary Health   Centers in Arunachal Pradesh.
- We are establishing a cancer hospital and research facility in   collaboration with Dr. Devi Shetty of Narayana Hrudayalaya   Hospital.
