Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) chief Praveen Togadia today launched a health initiative here to ensure free treatment to the poor and needy at their doorsteps.

The initiative -- India Health Line -- is aimed at ensuring free treatment to every poor and needy in the country. People in need of medical attention just have to make a phone call except on Saturday, Togadia told reporters at the launch event.

The VHP is also planning to set up the world's largest mega blood bank and women healthcare clubs across the country in the coming months. It will also reach out to Hindus in 100 countries if they need help, he added.
 

"We have enrolled over 10,000 doctors who are providing free services, while the number of health ambassadors has crossed the 1 lakh mark," the VHP chief claimed.

India Health Line is functioning for the past four years and Jammu and Kashmir is the 26th state to be brought under its ambit, said Pankaj Tulli, secretary of India Health Line.
