Free medical camps are organized to provide health services and create an environment where the underprivileged community gets sensitized about health issues. As a part of our efforts to make basic healthcare accessible for all, St. Joseph’s Mission Hospital, conducted free health camps in villages, rural areas providing succor over 10000 people. Many of these peoples have no healthcare facilities or even a qualified healthcare worker.
These camps provide free tests for Diabetes, Blood Pressure, Hemoglobin etc and offers counseling & treatment by trained Doctors and Specialists. Free medicines are given to the people . The underprivileged community also has aging members who are not able to purchase health care and access the facilities due to the long distance and joint problems that have demobilized them. Apart from providing basic treatment and general check-up, the Medical Camps also help people to be aware of their health status. And we plan to establish a few number of outreach centers for consultations of different areas of Wayanad.
