The Cell is concerned with the physical well being of the PAFs and is headed by the Deputy Director (Medical). It is responsible for providing preventive and curative care to PAPs as per their requirements and offers comprehensive services to the families. The medical experts in the Cell include physician, pediatrician, gynaecologist, emergency medical officer, statistical assistant and pharmacist.

The Medical Cell ensures that doorstep medical facilities are available to all families through the provision of 20 mobile medical units. There is also one mobile hospital and 154 dispensaries have been established in the sites. Diagnostic camps and other medical camps are also held at regular intervals. During these camps, the PAFs have access to such facilities as x-rays, sonography and pathology facilities.  

The Cell is responsible for overseeing the hygiene and nutrition aspects of the sites. It ensures that the people receive safe drinking water, and adopt good hygiene habits. 

Regular immunization is also conducted, and ante-natal and post-natal treatment is also being given to the expectant mothers at their doorsteps. The Cell works in tandem with the Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS) and the Mid Day Meal Programme for the promotion of health in children. It is also responsible for advocating family planning. 

The SSPA dispensaries have records of all the PAFs. Family-wise health cards and folders are maintained, so that the consulting doctor is aware of the patient’s medical history and the treatment that has been administered.  The Cell also coordinates with the district health machinery to offer more comprehensive services and expand the health service coverage.
