HAMID - PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED STUDENT FROM GOLIBAR, SANTACRUZ, MUMBAI
I was a person who never completed any of the medical treatments prescribed to me. But now, I take my medicines regularly, thanks to the easily approachable Swasth clinic and the caring and supportive approach of the staff.
ANON, KERALA
I used to be an alcoholic and spent the better part of my income on alcohol instead of treating my liver problems. My wife had to borrow money for my treatment and that is when I realised that I need to do something about my health or I will lose everything I have. I learnt about the Safar clinic from a friend in Kerala. Once there, I shared my health condition with a counsellor, who, after listening to me patiently, explained in detail how I can improve my health. Today, we are a happy family.
