Future Plans
Abiding by the guidelines of Indian Medical Council Regulations 2002 and NPHCE, this young privately managed clinic follows a policy of serving one elder in need free-of-cost for every four elders who take their services. Having served many elders in the last four years, it has also earned a fair return for its efforts. The clinic seeks to collaborate with like-minded companies to provide psychological care services to elders to help them take charge of an emotionally healthy, dignified and independent life and also approaching corporates and donors for funding towards CSR activities. Naimisha also plans to implement a wellness program for community and corporate, transition of care program, a senior crisis team, geriatric assessment day centers and Tele-medicine by partnering with clinics & hospitals.
