Preventive healthcare session
Our experts held a preventive healthcare session on water pollution for the attendees at the medical camp. The session focused on water pollution and contamination, the diseases it can cause, and ways to prevent water contamination. All the main precautionary measures we can take to avoid water-borne diseases were discussed as well.
Diseases and treatments
Most of the people who visited the medical camp for consultation were suffering from allergies, cough, chest infections, weakness, diabetes, pains, high blood pressure, gastric problems, flu, and hepatitis. Free medicines were given to a large number of underprivileged patients. Only two patients were advised to undergo surgeries.
