IMCARES REACHES OUT TO HUNDREDS OF HOMELESS PEOPLE LIVING IN THE MOST INHUMANE CONDITION AND SUFFERING FROM SICKNESSES, UNATTENDED WOUNDS, DESTITUTION & LONELINESS ON MUMBAI’S STREETS. IMCARES WORKERS WALK THE STREETS TO LOOK FOR OR RECEIVE INFORMATION ABOUT ANY SICK PERSON ON THE STREETS.. THEY IMMEDIATELY GET INTO FURTHER ACTION AND GO NEAR THE PERSON, TOUCH HIM, ASK HIS NAME, ENQUIRE ABOUT HIS CONDITION AS THEY PRACTICALLY BEGIN TO CLEAN THE WOUNDS. GIVE THEM A WASH AND SOME FOOD TO EAT. THE PERSON IS THEN TAKEN TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL FOR FURTHER TREATMENT AND CARE.

MOST OF THE PERSONS THAT IMCARES PAVEMENT MINISTRY CATERS TO ARE IN A HOPELESS CONDITION, WAITING TO BREATHE THEIR LAST. IMCARES TEAM MEMBERS STAND IN THE GAP AND FACILITATE THE RIGHTFUL HEALTHCARE THE SUFFERING PERSON IS ENTITLED TO. THEY WORK CLOSELY WITH LOCAL GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS AND OTHER NGOs FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION. THE CASES INCLUDE PERSONS FROM ALL AGES SUFFERING FROM ONE OR MULTIPLE CONDITIONS SUCH AS GANGRENE, TYPHOID, MALARIA, HIV & AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS (EVEN MDR & XDR),TRAUMA AND MANY WHO HAVE SYMPTOMS OF POST TRAUMATICE STRESS DISORDERS.

AFTER A GOOD AND DIGNIFIED HEALTH CARE, IMCARES TEAM MEMBERS HELP THEM GET BACK TO THEIR OCCUPATON, MOSTLY UNSKILLED LABOUR WORK. IN MANY CASES IMCARES TEAM MEMBERS HAVE ALSO RECONCILED THE PERSON WITH HIS/HER FAMILY.
BECAUSE OF THE EFFORTS OF COMMITTED WORKERS OF IMCARES PAVEMENT MINISTRY MANY OF THESE LOST ONES HAVE BEEN FOUND AND HAVE BEGUN A NEW LIFE.
SOME OF THOSE FOUND SOON DIE BUT THEY LEAVE THIS WORLD WITH DIGNITY BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY PALLIATIVE CARE THEY RECEIVE FROM IMCARES TEAM MEMBERS
