CMC's Low-Cost Effective Care Unit (LCECU) program "has continued to provide care to the most vulnerable populations in Vellore since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was possible because of our pre-existing community engagement in the informal settlements and our COPC model of primary care... It is our long-term relationships and community networks, built over time, that allow us to support vulnerable populations in a crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic."
