Smile Foundation organized a free Gynaecological camp in collaboration with Jain Women Conference on 21st and 22nd April, 2007 at Bhilwada in Rajasthan. This free health camp was organized besides the Annual Multi-disciplinary and Comprehensive Health Mela organized with same partner at Bhilwara.
Health care remains beyond the reach of the poor populace, added with lack of health seeking behaviour. And for the women folks in poor rural outreach, health care need is never sought for, besides being beyond their affordability. Thus Smile Foundation and its local partner Jain Women Conference came up with this special intervention.
Smt. Kesar Bai Soni Hospital
in Shastri Nagar in Bhilwada was the venue for
the camp. Dr. Hansmukh. N. Agarwal and Dr. Lakshmi
Hansmukh Agarwal from the Resham Bai Fertility
Hospital, Ahmedabad treated the patients and also
carried out the operations.
The camp catered to most of the gynaecological diseases and health problems concerning women such as:
Though the foundation has also been operating the mobile health care vans for catering to the people residing in the remote areas of the country and has an integrated model of regular health check up for both children and women in areas where its educational projects are being run, SMILE believed that periodic medical health camps across all the states of India with primary services was essential to keep a check on the incidences of health disorders among the target population of the country.
SMILE hopes this vision is carried forward and the poor and the needy population are benefited from such a venture; wherein the partner organization such as the Jain Women Conference also have shown their commitment towards social upliftment and development. |
With this vision and a comprehensive
plan, Smile Foundation has launched a national
programme for organizing periodic health camps
in different parts of the country to cater to
the impoverished or low income group population.
