Timely diagnosis of NCDs allows prompt intervention, prevents complications, reduces substantial financial burden and promotes physical and mental well-being. With an intent to promote equitable health and wellbeing for all, VHAI in collaboration with the local Health Administration is organizing screening, treatment and sensitization camps for NCDs, Anaemia and other common ailments in remote pockets in Odisha.
Community volunteers and young enablers along with front line health workers are mobilizing communities for the camps wherein screening is being conducted by local PHC/CHC medical officers and health professionals at the community level.
Apart from screening, the communities are being educated on prevention and control of NCDs, Anaemia, Govt. initiatives, Hygiene & sanitation, eating right and staying physically active to improve health.
