Health Camps
General and specialized health camps are conducted in remote areas where good medical facilities are not available. These camps provide cardiac, neurological, ophthalmic, orthopedic, gynecological and general health checks. Three to four camps are held every month in collaboration with Narayana Hrudayalaya and other network hospitals. Every camp is attended by an average of 300 people.
In Oct 2009, the team from Biocon Foundation’s Health Program held numerous health camps in the various flood hit villages in Bagalkote district of North Karnataka. The teams also collaborated with the Government doctors and Public Health Center’s to ensure maximum reach and effectiveness.. Through these health camps our doctors were able to reach and help more than 5,000 people.
