Sonal has been working at Deep Griha since 2006, when the organization opened a comprehensively equipped Pathology Laboratory, providing a wide range of tests at subsidized rates.
As a registered medical lab technician, Sonal runs the facility, taking diagnostic and screening tests for approximately eight patients a day, referred to her by Deep Griha’s Dr. Onawale, other community doctors, and DIHSA (Deep Griha’s Integrated Service for HIV/AIDS). Among the many tests that Sonal runs are those for HIV, TB, blood group, haemogram, urine routine, kidney function tests, and liver function tests.
Sonal enjoys working in the laboratory, not only due to her interest in science and technology, but also because of her desire to help to provide health care to individuals who may not otherwise be able to afford it. She believes her work at Deep Griha is important for this reason, and she hopes to continue working in this capacity with the organization to promote comparable health care for people of all social and economic backgrounds.
