Free medical camps: An overview
Among the many lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic, one standout point was about the inability of governments to reach out to every single person stuck in COVID hotspots. Observed worldwide, this situation of hopelessness taught us a valuable lesson, which was, don’t leave everything up to the state!
The realization which is making sense to many only now has been acknowledged by hundreds of NGOs and INGOs already. Free medical camps are a product of the brainstorming post this realization. These camps provide help to patients in remote areas where the state has not been able to provide premium quality healthcare services, yet.
However, the scope of these camps is not limited to remote areas only and includes slums and rural areas as well. The target audience of such camps is predominantly the underprivileged section of the society that cannot afford basic healthcare facilities in expensive private hospitals.
