Free health camp in Balkumari
Balkumari happily witnessed the general health camp conducted for the first time ever in its history. It was reflected by the mass gathering around Mahadev Secondary School premises and the enthusiasm of the local people eagerly awaiting the check-up over the sloppy land.
The poorest of the poor were delighted to be checked by the doctors and get free medicines.The old health post had been damaged from the earthquake and the new one being built was not completed yet. 241 community people of all ages directly benefitted from the camp and the happy faces were marked by the organization. This was also reflected in their feedback recorded by the organization in evaluation slips. Some remarks of the locals are as follows:
“Effective mobilization of FCHVs and medical counselling is appreciated.” “Thank you for coming. Please arrange blood test, urine test and ENT in the next one.” “This kind of health camp is largely needed to treat the deprived population. Therefore, we request you to conduct more health camps here in Balkumari in future as well.” Villagers of Balkumari VDC, Nuwakot
