A. We have several ways to attach the wall panels. One is by bolting them together, the second is welding them to the embeds that are casted into the panels. Blocks or bricks have more labor involved than wall panel. It takes a lot of bricks and blocks to lay into place and takes more time than our wall panels. Also the block is using more materials than wall panel uses. BUT BASICALLY ONE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THESE ARE SPECIALLY DEVELOPED CLINICS TAKING CARE IN THE CONSTRUCTION THAT MAKES IT TEMPERATURE CONDUCIVE AND MAKING IT COOLER THAN NORMAL IN TROPICAL REGIONS AND BIT MORE COLD RESISTANT THAN USUAL IN COLDER CONDITIONS, DUE TO THE SPECIAL TYPE OF CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS EMBEDED IN IT AND THAT IS THE SPECIALITY.

But generally, there is no permission required for the Mini Clinic structure, inclusions of solar panels on it and the water pumping facilities on it, however, every country may have its own norms and it remains advisable to have the permissions worked up in relevance from country to country.
Q21. What is the general idea behind You Mini Clinics?
It is basically meant to bridge the gap of following:
a) Making basic health facility available at rural / village levels, where people do not have any facility and in some cases they have to travel to 5 or 10 or 15 miles or more to get basic treatments
b) To provide self-sufficient basic health facilities, without having to worry for power from State or Govt. electricity grids
c) To develop a basic medical knowledge person to be stationed there for villagers / remote locations
d) To reduce the cost of medical money being spent on MOBILE CLINICS, as it incurs the cost of $30,000 approx. extra, and then has expenses of Driver, Handyman and no control over the vehicle and transportation costs that are being charged to the main hospital or departments who runs there
e) Also by having such units and training basic ground people it helps to tackle the unwanted absences or non-desire or city based doctors or nurses who really are not very eager to come to villages on and off and because of such scenarios actually mobiles units go to every location only 50 – 60 % of the time decided over a period of one year
f) By being a station unit, evening timings can be dedicated to educate people through computer screens about their health consciousness
g) We also provide Free Medical Encyclopedia software or people to learn and refer, in case of any basic things to learn about health protection.
Q22. We heard you are going to provide Tele-medicine system also, if required by some locations?
Yes, where easy internet connectivity is possible or required by clients / state / Govt, we offer Tele-Medicine facility that can be a great and very smooth facility to connect to main / large hospitals, which has specialty care doctors for treatment of ENT, Cardiac and quite some fields, in such a case it becomes easy for remote locations to get expert opinion from well-equipped main locations. The cost of Tele-medicine is also not much, hence this facility can make the Mini-Clinic like a extension of a main hospital.
Q23. What other extra customization can be done for better use of these Mini Clinics?
We have already developed extra module to use this Mini Clinics as Rural Lighting power mini-station for villages, less than 20 to 40 homes, where electricity is not available, if desired this unit can also be provided with extra battery charging stations, so that the village can get lights for homes, by taking those battery charged on daily or alternate day basis and the charging payments can be a source of income to reduce the operating burden of Mini-Clinics.
Q24. Can you Mini-clinics be used as a Business Model and be responsibly used by any village level entrepreneur for providing services that can benefit the village?
Of-course, one of the basic ideas of offering these mini-clinics is to be provide self sufficiency at village levels, so that if the Micro-Finance systems works for this, these clinics can be managed by trained nurses, who can own these clinics and use them responsibly and have facilities for villagers. We do believe that ANY GOVERNMENT MONEY THAT IS PUT ON PROJECTS FREELY , PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE VALUE FOR THAT IN FULL SENSE, HENCE WE SUGGEST THAT TO TAKE LONG TERM RESPONSIBLE, REAL BENEFIT OF THESE UNITS, THERE SHOULD A SYSTEM OF PUTTING ENTREPRENUERS EITHER INDIVIDUALS OR TWO OR THREE PARTNERS WHO CAN RUN THESE UNITS FOR MULTIPLE BENEFITS AND TAKE VILLAGE SELF SUFFICIENCY TO A NEXT LEVEL, for e.g.
a) If one of the partners can be a nurse, it can take care of medical aspects
b) If other is able to take care of the battery charger unit then they can work on providing lighting to the villagers
c) One other partner can also run village level school unit, by using the lighting during night time, as extra back-end shed facility can be provided for running a small school
Think of ways that suits your locations and country with permissions, you can figure up multiple ways of making this a business model and thereby create meaningful employment also in more than one way.
