Rotary Cubbonpark Trust and Bangalore Gastro Center Launch Mobile GI Health Initiative in Karnataka

Bengaluru, August 6, 2025:
In a pioneering move to enhance rural healthcare access, the Rotary Cubbonpark Trust, in association with Bangalore Gastro Center, has launched an innovative gastrointestinal (GI) health initiative across Karnataka. With a project investment of ₹3 crore, the initiative aims to deliver advanced medical diagnostics and treatment to underserved communities through state-of-the-art mobile healthcare units.
An Innovative Healthcare Model
Backed by the Infosys Foundation and the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, Rotary District 3191 has introduced four specially outfitted mobile medical vans. These units are equipped with high-end diagnostic tools such as endoscopy and colonoscopy systems, enabling on-the-spot screening and early detection of GI disorders.
Filling the Rural Healthcare Gap
The initiative specifically targets patients in remote and rural areas who often lack access to specialized healthcare services due to distance and affordability challenges. By bringing medical services directly to villages, the program bridges a critical gap in timely diagnosis and care.
Fully Equipped Mobile Medical Units
Each mobile unit is designed for maximum functionality and patient comfort. Features include:
Advanced diagnostic equipment (endoscopy and colonoscopy)
Separate rooms for doctor consultation and patient examination
Patient registration and resting area
Ceiling-mounted air conditioning for comfort
Backup generators and UPS systems to ensure uninterrupted services
Community-Centric Approach
The project will work in coordination with Primary Health Centers (PHCs), local doctors, and various Rotary clubs throughout Karnataka. Regular health camps will be held in different locations, offering free consultations, diagnosis, and follow-up care.
Leadership Comments
“We are deeply grateful to the Infosys Foundation and the Government of Karnataka for their support in making this project a reality,” said BR Gowrishankar, Chairman of Rotary Cubbonpark Trust. “Our collaboration with Bangalore Gastro Center will empower us to deliver life-changing healthcare services to thousands in rural Karnataka. We believe this will have a lasting positive impact.”
The announcement was made at a press conference held today at the Press Club of Bangalore by Y.C. Roy, Project Coordinator.
