Chah Foundation's Health Empowerment Initiatives: Transformative Health Checkup and Eye Camp
In our relentless pursuit of community well-being, Chah Foundation
proudly presents its impactful health initiatives, manifesting in the recently
conducted Free Health Checkup and Eye Camp on March 20, 2022, at
Govandi, Mumbai. This endeavor was carried out in collaboration with
CHILDREN'S HELP AND HELPAGE Foundation, epitomizing our commitment
to making essential medical services accessible to the underprivileged.
Guided by the wisdom that "Health is Wealth," the event was inaugurated
by Mr. Ashwin Patne, President of CHILDREN'S HELP AND HELPAGE
Foundation. The primary objective was to address the health needs of the
poor and needy, offering a spectrum of vital tests including ECG, CBC, RBS,
and B.P. Operating from 10 am to 5 pm, the camp successfully served 250
beneficiaries, providing not just diagnoses but also crucial health-related
information.
Chah Foundation's commitment extends beyond urban centers, with
periodic health camps conducted for rural communities. Additionally, eye
check-up camps have been instrumental in examining patients, providing
medications, and conducting successful cataract operations, enhancing
vision and quality of life.
Our dedication to health education is demonstrated through active
participation in health awareness programs, utilizing diverse channels such
as rallies, street plays, and camps. The foundation also emphasizes skill
development and workplace safety, adopting a holistic approach to
community welfare.
In a recent eye check-up and cataract operation camp held in Govandi, 220
individuals registered for examination. Of them, 119 were identified for
cataract surgery, and 108 underwent the operation during the camp. The
participants, spanning various age groups, highlighted the inclusivity of our
initiatives, with a notable emphasis on women's participation and a
significant portion belonging to the Below Poverty Line (BPL) category.
Chah Foundation remains unwavering in its commitment to fostering a
healthier society.
The success of these health camps stands as a testament
to our dedication to making quality healthcare accessible to all, irrespective
of socio-economic backgrounds. Join us in our journey towards a healthier,
happier, and more empowered community.
