The camp was designed to strengthen preventive care and early diagnosis for truck drivers and allied populations moving through one of Bengaluru’s busiest transport corridors.
A Peer-Led Volunteers Meeting was successfully conducted at the Apollo Tyres Health Care Centre (ATHCC), Yeshwantpur. The meeting was made special by a surprise visit from Mr. Ashwani Sinha, Ms. Suma, Dr. Jyotika Gupta, Ms. Uma, and Mr. Kiran, who interacted with the peer volunteers and programme team.
Good vision is key to better health, education, productivity, and quality of life. Through the “Clear Vision, Better Lives” initiative, communities across 29 villages of Hoskote Taluk are being empowered to prioritize eye health through awareness, education, vision screening, and access to corrective care.
The programme was conducted alongside a public event held in the region and aimed at extending preventive healthcare services and health awareness activities to the local rural community, transport workers, drivers, dealers, customers, and visitors present at the venue.
Organized by Telerad Foundation in collaboration with DISH Network Technologies and managed with the support of RxDx Clinics at Marathahalli Government Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka.
The meeting brought together project in-charges, programme managers, and implementing partners from across the Apollo Tyres Healthcare Centre network. Representatives from 35 project locations participated in this multi-day review to assess programme progress, review operational performance, and strengthen coordination across project sites.

Long-distance truck drivers form a highly mobile and dispersed community, making sustained healthcare outreach challenging through conventional facility-based models alone. To bridge this gap, the Apollo Tyres Healthcare Centre (ATHCC) programme integrates Peer Educators as a core component of its community engagement and service delivery strategy.
