Free Diabetes Medical Camp Conducted at RS Managalam Town Center

A free diabetes screening camp was successfully organized in the heart of RS Managalam, attracting numerous residents from the town and nearby areas. The initiative was part of an ongoing healthcare awareness drive aimed at early detection and prevention of diabetes—a growing health concern in both urban and rural communities.

The camp provided free blood sugar testing, basic health check-ups, and one-on-one consultations with qualified doctors and medical staff. This effort was focused particularly on individuals over the age of 35, a group most vulnerable to developing type 2 diabetes.

Throughout the day, a steady stream of people arrived at the venue, eager to know their health status. Many of them were unaware of their current sugar levels and had never undergone a diabetes test before. For some, the camp was a wake-up call to take control of their health through proper diet, exercise, and medical attention.

The attending doctors also took time to educate participants about the common symptoms of diabetes, such as frequent urination, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and excessive thirst. Special emphasis was placed on the importance of early detection and regular monitoring to avoid severe long-term complications like kidney damage, nerve issues, and cardiovascular problems.

Pamphlets and educational materials were distributed in both Tamil and English, providing practical guidance on how to manage and prevent diabetes naturally. This included information on healthy eating habits, maintaining a regular fitness routine, and reducing sugar intake. The local response to the camp was overwhelmingly positive. Many attendees appreciated the accessibility of the services and requested similar health initiatives in the future. “I came just to accompany a friend, but I’m grateful I got tested too. It’s an eye-opener,” said a 42-year-old resident who discovered his sugar level was above the normal range. This camp reflects our mission to bring quality healthcare to underserved communities and empower people with the knowledge and resources they need to lead healthier lives. We extend our gratitude to the volunteers, medical team, and local authorities who helped make this initiative a success.
