Medical Camps

Many people in agricultural areas face poor health conditions due to limited access to medical facilities. Common eye-related issues like cataracts can worsen if left untreated. To address this, we organize health and eye camps for underserved populations lacking proper medical support.

 

We plan, purchase essential medicines and supplies, and coordinate with volunteer doctors. Health and eye camps are held multiples times per year and concern all our 24 villages : every villager can access to free health checkups, and evaluations for their personal & psychological problems.

​Health camps

At every health camp, we provide basic medical supplies such as toothpaste, paracetamol, and essential vitamins for the entire family. In addition to modern medicine, we also distribute herbal remedies to promote and revitalize traditional practices. One of the key remedies we offer is "Nillavembu" kudineer, an herbal drink scientifically proven to help prevent dengue and viral infections, which is distributed to every villager to ensure their well-being.

Eye care camps

At every eye camp, we assess each individual's vision problems and offer tailored solutions. For those with advanced eye conditions, we provide free treatment to help restore their vision. People diagnosed with cataracts are referred for surgery, while individuals with vision impairments receive glasses to correct their sight. Additionally, many patients benefit from counseling and treatment for various eye-related issues, ensuring they receive comprehensive care.
