We did NALAM-18, Health Camp at Pon Vilaintha Kalathur near Chengalpattu, on the same day as the polio awareness campaign. R C Mitra was the Lead club and R C Chennai Gemini was the participating Club. There were 118 beneficiaries. There were 5 Mitrans and 3 Geminians at the camp. 18 Mitrans in 2 different locations on a day for projects is something all of us are proud of.
General Checkup- 118, CBG & Hb tests-45, General Physician- 30, Eye checkup- 28
Ortho-25, BMD test-8, Physiotherapy advice-25, Skin- 10, ENT- 12
Paediatrics-25, Dental-30 (Treatment given-4), PAP smear – 9, ECG-1, Free medicines-118
This was done with the support of Karpaga Vinayagar Institute of Medical Sciences who sent a contingent of doctors to run the camp. The idea of a tie up with them was to ensure that follow up treatment will also be taken care of as the hospital is less than half hour away from the village. The RCC at the village supported with volunteers and local coordination.
