A free diabetes screening medical camp was successfully organized in the heart of Vellayapuram, aiming to spread awareness about diabetes and provide essential health services to the local community. The event witnessed an encouraging turnout, especially from the elderly and middle-aged residents.
Organized as part of a rural health outreach program, the camp offered free blood sugar testing, general health check-ups, and consultations with qualified medical professionals. The initiative emphasized the importance of early detection of diabetes, a condition that often goes unnoticed in its initial stages.
Participants received on-the-spot sugar test results, along with personalized advice on lifestyle changes, diet, and medication where necessary. The medical team provided insights into managing diabetes through regular monitoring and maintaining healthy habits.
In addition to health checks, awareness sessions were conducted to educate the public on recognizing diabetes symptoms—such as frequent urination, fatigue, and sudden weight loss—and seeking timely medical help. Informational brochures were distributed in Tamil to ensure clarity and wider understanding among the residents.
One of the attendees shared, “I had no idea my sugar levels were high. I’m really grateful for this free service that came right to our town.” The event concluded with appreciation from the locals and a strong request for more such initiatives in the future. The organizers extended their thanks to the dedicated team of healthcare workers, local volunteers, and community leaders who made the camp possible. This health camp stands as a significant step toward bringing preventive healthcare to every doorstep, especially in rural areas like Vellayapuram.
