Health is very important, more particularly, for the poor man, whose daily meal comes from his daily work. If a poor man is sick and cannot go for work, he and his family have to go hungry that day, which will adversely affect him on the next day. So, a poor man neglects his health need and goes to work, even if he is sick. The hard labour he has to do further worsens his health condition. To solve this difficulty, AMG opened village clinics to provide free medical care and treatment to poor people.
Some chronic diseases like Leprosy, Tuberculosis, HIV/ AIDS, need long-term and costly treatment. Being poor and not able to forgo work and spend money for medical facilities, the poor man neglects his treatment, which further aggravates his health condition, leading to loss of human life and finances of the family. AMG has established 4 Leprosy projects for 1200 victims, with permanent houses, treatment and rehabilitation, in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Cured leprosy patients do small works, in which they have skill and experience.
To make the patient regain his self-confidence and dignity, AMG pays them salary. AMG also distributes monthly rations to nearly 4000 more Leprosy patients, who are living in various villages. Medicines and monthly rations are given to 2000 T.B. patients and 2200 PLWHA patients. Normally, these patients do not get nutritious food, as they are poor and cannot afford to buy good food, because they are too weak to go to work and earn money. The medicines, taken by them, are strong and powerful, so, AMG supplies these victims with food and other daily necessities; AMG also supplies Anti-biotics and multi-vitamin tablets, to PLWHA patients to build immunity and resistance to opportunistic infections. AMG intervention, by providing monthly rations to these patients, has a dramatic effect on their lives. The health of many patients has improved and they are able to go to work, even though they cannot earn as in the past. The additional income helps them to buy some family needs. Besides the above, AMG has 3 General hospitals, 2 Eye hospitals, 6 slum clinics and more than 600 DOTS centers in 7 Mandals of Guntur District.
