Sugam Charitable Trust first Medical Camp

The first medical camp we organised went very well. the target patient population group were ladies above the age of 40. we assessed over 84 ladies and we finished in one day. four doctors were involved, along with the back up of senior nurses and junior well trained nurses with countless number of volunteers. the special mention goes to the volunteers without which this camp would have gone nowhere.

the KMC group did their work with a smiling face, not showing the tiredness which was unavoidable given the scale of the work. the ladies to whom the service did not show unhappiness when made to wait for their turn. Ms Kalavathi did public awareness with a powerpoint presentation made possible only with Saravnan's expertise after initial hiccup was due to the laptop. dont trust the computer ever, keep someone like saravanan on your side on a given day!

Sasi and the troop gave refreshments along the way on a tiring day

Sugam Charitable trust well done!!!!

the senior doctors Dr Rajarathinam and Dr Mathimaraiselvan started off the proceedings with a little talk and the invited doctor Dr Geetha Ravi did not blink her eyelid until the work was done. Thank you Dr Geetha Ravi

Last but not the least is the food organised for the people who made this camp possible. it was simply excellent and delicious. Thanks to Sugam Charity administration for organising the cook and thank you The Chef, we will call you again.

next camp on april 2010

We are keen to do more work on the charitable front. but we need clear directions. we have focused on the health education to the public in the form of newsletters and printed information. i am also in the process of passing on the important health information web links
