A free medical camp was organised by Women Empowerment Department Bhopal with the help of MP Anusuchit Jati Vikas Evam Kalyan Samiti.
In this medical camp the team of Dr Brjesh Shreevastav from Civil Hospital Bhopal and Dr Meera Choudhari from JP Hospital Bhopal checked the problems related to health, eyes, heart problem, and skin disorder of all the Women and Girls. Around 755 people were benefitted from the camp. Medicines were also distributed to the women.
In this health camp, women got awareness about health and medicine. The health camp aimed at promoting health seeking behavior in the long term and thus, unlike a general curative health camp, this camp also majorly work on building awareness regarding common ailments, family planning methods, nutrition and hygiene and sanitation. The camps provided comprehensive health services free of cost.
Samiti secretary Samar Khan said a woman plays an important role in the society: as a daughter, a wife, a sister, a mother and in many other roles, she is continually making contributions toward the society.
Khan said that in this health camp women and girls got awareness about health and medicine. Doctors examined the women and girls and provided medicines. Doctors also talked on the importance of hygiene while expert doctors gave medical advice to patients. She has lots to do and she does it as time goes on, but she does not get time to take care of herself, he added.
The Samiti has appealed to Women to make use of the camp and stay healthy and fit.
