Health
StateIn the Thiruvallur region of Tamil Nadu, the Mobile Medical Unit (MMU), which was founded in 2017 and is funded by the Michelin Corporate Foundation, provides medical care to 31 villages and hamlets that surround the Michelin India location. The prevention and treatment of chronic, non-communicable diseases such diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, anemia, malnutrition, respiratory conditions, and fungal skin infections are the specific goals of the MMU. The group started tackling mental health concerns in 2022. When visiting communities with wide roads, the team utilizes a larger bus with basic diagnostic equipment; when visiting smaller villages with populations that are more vulnerable, they use a rental jeep.
A doctor, a physiotherapist, a nurse, a health worker coordinator, six community health workers, a worker at the village level, two health communication coordinators, and a driver make up the MMU's staff.
