On the 24th of March, 2024, the DEEP Trust, in collaboration with Shri Kutchhi Mitra Mandal – Hyderabad Health Care Committee and Renova Soumya Cancer Center, orchestrated a landmark event in the realm of public health and preventative medicine. The Community Health Screening Camp held at Kutchhi Bhavan, Ramkote Edenbagh, Hyderabad, marked a significant stride towards the Trust’s vision of disease eradication through education and prevention. This blog post delves into the outcomes of the camp, the collaborative effort behind its success, and the profound impact it aims to imprint on community health.

Beyond Screening: Education and Prevention
The DEEP Trust’s Community Health Screening Camp was more than a series of medical tests; it was an educational crusade, spreading awareness on vital health issues and preventative measures. The camp was a practical step towards realizing the Trust’s motto of Disease Eradication through Education and Prevention, drawing attention to the often-overlooked aspects of healthcare — early detection and informed prevention.
The success of the camp was made possible through the tireless efforts of volunteers, new doctors, special delegates, and the generous support of Sri Kutchhi Mitra Mandal – Hyderabad Health Care Committee and Renova Soumya Cancer Center.
