To reach ultra-rural villages, we rely on the Truck of Life to navigate rough, broken roads. This vehicle allows us to deliver essential supplies, including medicines, water, tools, solar kits, and food. Logistics play a crucial role in our program; without access to fuel, spare parts, and the commitment to long days on the road, we would be unable to reach the patients in need.

Medical Advices Series – Simple Health Knowledge for Everyone
Clear medical guidance grounded in real field experience
Medical advice built from field experience to explain health risks and prevention clearly.
Visual introduction to medical advice focused on prevention and public health education.
The Medical Advice series was developed to present medical knowledge in a clear, practical, and ready-for-immediate-use format. These articles leverage extensive experience in field medicine, emphasising prevention as often more critical than treatment. Each piece of advice turns real-life medical scenarios into straightforward guidance, enabling individuals to identify risks early on, steer clear of common errors, and safeguard their health before issues develop.
Medical advice encompasses a broad array of topics, including infectious diseases, antibiotic resistance, heat exposure, skin infections, animal bites, mental health issues, and everyday hygiene. While some subjects are intricate and others straightforward, they all adhere to the key principle: clarity saves time and time saves lives.
These materials are not solely sourced from textbooks. They arise from recurring inquiries in villages, schools, clinics, and emergencies. They capture the genuine challenges people encounter rather than hypothetical scenarios. The aim is to clarify without causing alarm or oversimplifying reality, but making it comprehensible.
By publicly sharing this medical advice, we make prevention accessible to all. When individuals gain insight into their bodies and surroundings, they are more equipped to make informed decisions. In the field of medicine, possessing knowledge is a form of care in itself.
