Smile Foundation organized a health camp for Smile children of ‘Schools of the World’ project at Anwarshah Road, Kolkata on 9th of August 2008.

Canara Bank, joining hands with Smile Foundation, has been in the forefront in the service of humanity especially the poor and underprivileged. The bank has been supporting Smile Foundation children through a series of planned health camps across India.

The non-pathological camp was sponsored by Canara Bank Kolkata. General Manager, Canara Bank, Mr. A K Nayyar participated in the camp. He said, “It is a pleasure for Canara Bank to be a CSR partner of Smile Foundation. Canara Bank has always been on the forefront among the banks in the country to be involved in the social work from its inception in the area of education.”

A team from Standard Chartered Bank, headed by Mr. Dinesh Munshi, joined the camps as special guests. They were impressed by the professionally executed healthcare being provided to needy children at regular interval.

The last camp for the children of this project was done in January 2008 which was also sponsored by Canara Bank.

Medical representatives from four different pharmaceutical companies had joined hands in providing medicines and distributing them properly to all children, supervised by Dr. Gupta.

Children were given medicines like Iron syrup, Paracetamol tablets, Crocin syrup, Ear drop, De-worming liquid, Anti-vomiting tablets etc. Besides, Standard Chartered Bank had gifted them with chocolates and with biscuits by the school itself.

Smile Foundation has issued ‘health cards’ for the children that they can renew with successive health camps.
