Quality Healthcare to70000 patients in Rural India

As part of our efforts to make basic healthcare accessible for all, a free Multi Diagnostic Camp was organized by The PRIDE India on 19^th October 2019 in association with the National Health Mission, Osmanabad and with the support of its well-wishers.

This camp was organized at Post Rava Hipperga to Lohara District, Osmanabad in the most interior rural areas where many of these villages have no healthcare facilities or even a qualified health worker. Such camps organized help needy patients’ with timely medical treatment.

The 8 medical team members included Physicians, Gynecologist, Orthopedic, Pediatrician, Dentist and ENT specialist who provided free physical examination, medications and free immediate medical testing to the people. Around 561 patients were screened and around 229 patients were provided with immediate medical testing.

Due to the benefit of the multispecialty team, the doctors could cover various sicknesses and illnesses and provide timely treatment and right time referrals. Most importantly, medical counseling and guidance were also provided to the patients who had attended the camp.

Many patients thanked The PRIDE India and its supporters for organizing such medical camps as it gave them a huge sigh of relief.

A special health check-up camp was organized for the elderly with the focus on Ayurveda treatment for geriatrics patients in our outreach villages. The camp was organised by a team of doctors from a nearby town Turjapur. The team of doctors was headed by Dr. Patil. Majority of the patients complained and were diagnosed of knee issues. Thorough check-up was done and the patients were advised exercises and follow up was fixed with them. 378 patients had participated in the health camp. The patients were very happy and found themselves fortunate as it would now become a regular feature with the hospital. The doctors were overwhelmed by the number of patients and decided to visit SPARSH once a week for follow-up.

The beneficiaries immensely thanked The PRIDE India and the well-wishers & supporters for such treatments and initiatives as their age becomes is a big risk factor.
