Blood Group, Routine Stool Examination Camp

Blood Group, HB% and routine stool examination Camps in slum area

Special camps are organized by us in slum areas wherein services for determining blood groups, % of HB checking and routine stool examination are offered. In appreciation of the fact that generally the conditions of hygiene, environment, cleanliness prevailing in the areas occupied predominantly by slum dwellers are far from satisfactory. It is also common knowledge that no one including politicians (who visits the slums at the time of election for votes and forget the promises and assurances until next election) appear to be serious enough and sensible enough to the genuine Problems affecting the health and the very life of the slum dwellers. Men, women, children’s are the victims of such neglect on health count. Contaminated water supplied in the slums worsen the situation. The slum dwellers are also part of society and are. citizens of this country and undoubtedly it is the bounden duty of every welfare government to
pay attention for improvement on priority.

In this context the role of NGO’s is crucial as their work is in fact in the interest of and in furtherance of the Govt. Policy and which is why the Govt. is also very keen to promote the NGO activities aimed at overall betterment of lifestyles of concerned citizens. It is in this perspective that the camps organized by us in the slums prove useful and effective. We have witnessed that people welcome such endevours and unhesitatingly extend their full cooperation and support to such camps which are essentially meant to serve the humanitarian cause and are philanthropic in nature.

We have been active in this field since 10 years and so far we have conducted 28 camps in the slums existing at various locations at periphery of city. As per survey it is estimated that about 445 slums are there in and around Nagpur city and hence the scope for our activity promises to continue in future. We have plans to launch the health awareness programmes more rigorously in the slums throughout the year and also to review the situation later on.
