The RHINO-Sacred Trust Organization started its operations with the start of an ambulance service in February 2010. Mr. Seshagiri Muthya, who is a philanthropist and a trustee of Sacred Trust, donated the RHINO-Sacred Trust Ambulance. The ambulance services patients ranging from accident victims to pregnant women.
The RHINO-SACRED TRUST medical camp was held from August 19th - August 25th 2010. We treated 345 patients over the course of the 7 days. We administered basic physicals measuring and recording height, weight, abdominal circumference, blood pressure, and blood glucose. We conducted a study to investigate the incidence of diabetes and hypertension. The following table summarizes the results of our study.
