In a significant boost to community healthcare, the health department in Greater Noida organized a free medical camp that examined 23 residents. Held in a bustling local community center, the event drew crowds seeking affordable medical advice and check-ups amid rising health concerns post-pandemic.
Doctors and paramedics from the district health services provided comprehensive screenings, including blood pressure checks, diabetes tests, and general consultations. The camp addressed common ailments like respiratory issues and hypertension, which have surged in the urban fringes of Delhi-NCR.
Local authorities highlighted the initiative as part of a broader drive to make healthcare accessible. ‘We aim to reach every doorstep with preventive care,’ said Dr. Rajesh Kumar, lead organizer. Residents appreciated the no-cost service, with many praising the quick diagnosis and free medicines distributed on site.
This camp is one of several planned across Greater Noida to cover underserved areas. Officials reported high satisfaction levels, with 23 individuals receiving personalized health plans. As urbanization accelerates, such events underscore the need for proactive public health measures.
The success has prompted calls for regular camps, potentially integrating tele-medicine for follow-ups. Community leaders are now coordinating with the health department for monthly events, ensuring sustained impact on public well-being.
