Remote Rural Health Through Diagnostic, Therapeutic, Surgical Camps: A Boon For The Needy
Keywords:
medical education, foundation, gandian ideology, remote rural camp, surgeries, boonAbstract
If primary health care is somehow available, to get specialist care under one roof is beyond the dream of those who live in remote rural regions with skeleton health services, access problems, and lack of resources. However, this may be possible with a camp approach and social accountability of civil society, medical institutes, and the government. People get screened, diagnosed, and treated medically and surgically in a cost-effective way, while simultaneously becoming aware and health literate in health education camps themselves. Dr. Sushila Nayar Hospital in Melghat, Maharashtra has been organizing multispecialty health camps with support from Kasturba Health Society, Sewagram which runs Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Maharashtra, India. It serves rural masses with concepts of social responsiveness. The camps have successfully helped 16,576 people through surgeries and aids.
