On the occasion of Diwali, a free medical camp was organized by Nagarjuna Medical Trust.
We DP students offered to volunteered to help the doctors during this camp.
I helped Dr. Sangeeta who is a pediatrician. I and children have a unbreakable bond! I always end up being surrounded by them. It is a boon :)
Many small children came up for the check up. Most of their mothers cribbed how their child was not eating properly. The doctor prescribed some medicines to them and gave them tonic. My work there was to check the height and weight of the patient. Then I took them to the doctor and give them their medicines. Most of the children suffered from iron deficiency and had poor health. Child mortality in India is very high. I feel more camps and more awareness is needed to protect the children. When the parents came for their ward's check up, we told them the proper diet that their child should have and also made them aware about the necessary medications (like polio drops) their child was going to need. It is important to safeguard the future of our country, that is the children of our nation.
Till next time :)
