He who has health has hope; and he who has hope has everything (Saying in Quran)

Provisions for basic health care services especially in rural India are few and far between. It’s an understood reality, which is enduring the NGOs to work more and bridge the gap in receiving these services.

A general camp team comprises of general physician, pharmacist and assistants.

A specialised health camp has a team of specialised doctors like dentists, ophthalmologists, gynaecologist, orthopaedic besides general physician, pharmacist and assistant. The health camps ensuring diagnosis, treatment and referrals for general ailments, dental care, gynaecological conditions and ophthalmic diseases are carried out. These camps also focus on preventive health care program through Information, Education and Communication and Behaviour Change Communication activities among the community (nutrition, personal hygiene and sanitation).
