Health Camps

AGAM organises health camps to provide healthcare facilities at the grass-roots level. Health camps provide much-needed attention to the people that are in need, or of old age or to those who are differently abled. It is also beneficial for people living in remote locations. Health camps were started in early 2016 when one of the founding members of AGAM persuaded few doctors to conduct a health check-up in Gonda, one of the backward towns in Uttar Pradesh. Since then AGAM has organised several health camps. These camps receive immense support from the local population. During these camps, free generic drugs as prescribed by the doctors are provided alongside valuable advice to lead a healthy life.

Eye Camps

Apart from providing general healthcare facilities to the marginalised, to provide specific healthcare check-ups, eye-camps are organised by AGAM. The first eye-camp was organised in a government school in Sahibabad, Ghaziabad. This was followed by other camps held in village Nidori, Ghaziabad. Our health camps brought out an insightful outcome. In the school most of the students that were supposed to use spectacles, but they were not aware that their eyes were weak and needed immediate attention. After understanding the gravity of the situation in our government school, we conducted eye camps across villages beyond NCR.
The major goals of organising these health camps are:

• To advance the aim of health consciousness, awareness and education for better quality of life and healthy practices.
• To support improvisation in the nutrition and child care education for women for the physical and mental well-being of the child.
• To provide information, education and the medical advice to general public regarding vices such as smoking, tobacco, alcohol, etc.
• To educate and capacitate villagers about the vagaries of communicable diseases, and sexually transmitted diseases.
• To educate and capacitate women about the need of cleanliness during periods of menstruation and the negative impact of negligence.
• To encourage games, sports, yoga, karate, hockey, football, cricket and other games of national and international importance for improvement in health amongst the youth and children.
