Community Health Screening Camp by DEEP Trust: A Step Towards Disease Prevention
On 24th March 2024, DEEP Trust (Disease Eradication through Education and Prevention), along with Shri Kutchhi Mitra Mandal – Hyderabad Health Care Committee and support from Renova Soumya Cancer Center, held a Community Health Screening Camp at Kutchhi Bhavan, Ramkote Edenbagh, Hyderabad. This camp was set up to spread awareness about health and help people get tested for common health problems.
Promoting Preventive Healthcare Through Screening
Health screening camps help find problems early, even before any symptoms start. This camp included tests such as blood pressure checks, X-rays, thermal breast scans (mammograms), and Pap smear tests. These tests were done for free so that more people could take part without worrying about cost.
Event Highlights
The event was started by Shri G. Kishan Reddy, Hon’ble Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Development of the Northeastern Region of India. People from nearby areas came to get tested and learn more about their health. It was a helpful event for people of all age groups.
What the Tests Showed
The camp helped many people understand their current health conditions. Some participants found out they had high blood pressure or early signs of other issues. Doctors gave guidance on what to do next, including tips on eating better, getting regular exercise, and following up with checkups.
Health Education for Everyone
Along with medical tests, the camp also helped people learn how to take better care of themselves. They were given advice on healthy habits like eating on time, staying active, and avoiding smoking or drinking. This kind of information can help prevent many common illnesses.
Working Together for Better Health
The success of the camp was because of the teamwork between DEEP Trust, Shri Kutchhi Mitra Mandal – Hyderabad Health Care Committee, Renova Soumya Cancer Center, and the group of doctors and volunteers. Everyone worked together to make sure the camp ran smoothly and that people got the help they needed.
This health camp by DEEP Trust showed how simple steps like regular checkups and learning about health can make a big difference. Many people got useful health advice and were encouraged to take care of themselves. DEEP Trust plans to continue holding more camps like this in different places so more people can benefit.
