All people from the respective villages are invited to attend the health education camp. The campaigns will be advertised by means of poster ads as well as an invitation sent to the respective heads of villages for distribution. The camps are mostly held in the village centre, where representatives from the respective regional health departments provide local people with knowledge about diseases and subsidized healthcare opportunities. Our partners finance some of our healthcare campaigns. Our public partner District Tuberculosis Control (DTC) Almora covers the project costs for our campaigns on Tuberculosis. We are currently working under scheme I & II. Scheme I: Information Education and Communication (IEC). We start our campaigns by collecting the relevant data. In a second step, we spread awareness and educate people about Tuberculosis. Scheme II: Affected patients receive a proper check up by DTC. As a DOTS provider, we deliver the needed medicine to their homes free of cost. |
