Smile foundation provided their team of doctors and a well-equipped mobile health van for consultation and screening. With sincere efforts doctors identified various chronic diseases prevalent among the people, of which diabetes was the most common. It was observed that many of the diabetic patients were irregular in taking medications and were unaware about the risk factors and complications associated with diabetes. Doctors encouraged Samata Foundation to work on projects to bring awareness about the seriousness of diabetes and it’s management.

Lion’s club President Mr. Kirit Shah and his team’s presence gave confidence to conduct and execute the program as planned. He and his team motivated to conduct various such camps in near future and assured their strong support whenever needed.

Further Mr. Sagar Tayade, a union leader of unorganised sector including construction labourers, domestic workers, etc. took part in the camp and gave guidance for this program. He encouraged to conduct many such camps particularly for people from less privileged sector who are far away to reach routine health investigations due to poor knowledge and poverty.

Overall it was an overwhelming rich experience in conducting medical health check-up camps. It was a great learning experience for the entire team of Samata Foundation. This camp rooted an insight to work on such projects with broader perspectives regularly specifically for less privileged and unorganised sector who are distressed with diabetes.
