He was speaking an introductory programme on mobile clinic project organised by Mangaluru based WhatsApp group – ‘Mfriends’ (Mangaluru Friends) at Golden Fish Restaurant at Jubail Royal Commission, here on Friday.

The minister said that through the mobile clinics the Health and Family Welfare department hopes to reach and provide referral health care to the people in remote villages and deep interiors of Karnataka where health care stills seems a neglected factor.

Mr Khader, who is also a member of ‘MFriends’, said lauded the creator and all the members of this WhatsApp group for putting social media to good use at a time when it is being misused and abused for various narrow considerations.

“People who waste time and engage in blaming each other on WhatsApp should learn from this group,” he said.

MFriends’ Mobile Clinic

Speaking on the occasion, Rashid Vittla, secretary of MFriends, said that their proposed mobile clinic is a Rs 50 lakh project. It includes doctors and support staff. Laboratory facilities will be integrated with the project. It will also hold 20 medical check up camps in rural areas every month.

He revealed that Zakaria Jokatte, also known as Zakaria Bajpe and Zakaria Muzain, a prominent businessman from Mangaluru in Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, has come forward to sponsor the modified buses needed to kick-start the mobile clinic project.

Mr Khader said that Karnataka government welcomes such initiatives and provides necessary support to serve the people in need.

Haneef Haji Golthamajalu, president of MFriends, presided over the event. Zakariya Jokatte, chief of Al-Muzain group, BM Shareef, CEO of Whit Stone, Mohammad Asif, CEO of Amaco Group of Companies, Ismaeel Ullal of Realtech, were present among others.
