Be Well Health Camp

In cities, people have more medical resources and fundamental health information. In remote villages of underdeveloped and developing nations.Lack of basic health care is a major cause of concern and one that takes lives. For example, there are many children who cannot read or write owing to eyesight issues. Blood anemia is very common among girls, and adults have hygiene problems that affect their health and can even lead to death. Fatalities like these can be avoided.

GOOD HEALTH is GOOD WEALTH, GOOD HEALTH MATTERS.

Keeping those in consideration Be Educated started ‘Be Educated – Be Well’, a full day health camp program in the year 2015.

In this program, doctors were on site to do health screening of all participants, and our trained coordinators educated the local community about early disease detection, preventative care, and living a healthy life. We provided separate sessions for girls on hygiene and women’s health issues and concerns followed up with a health quiz competition.

The program cost about $200 per location. The health camps were successfully held at our 59 library locations in Assam, AP, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, UP, Bihar, MP, Haryana, Rajasthan and Telangana states of India as well as 12 locations in Nepal and 10 locations in the Sindh province of Pakistan. On average 40-50 children were screened at each location. We also released a poster to mark this occasion.
