200 patients receive medical services at health camp

Around 200 patients received medical services at a camp organised by Praja Arogya Vedika (PAV) and Jana Vignana Vedika in Vijayawada on Sunday.

The camp provided medical services, including consultations, medicines, guidance to patients suffering from diabetes, hypertension, epilepsy and paralysis at a minimal consultation fee. Later, volunteers distributed the required tablets and insulin to the patients and explained how to take the medicine.

PAV NTR district general secretary G. Vijay Prakash said such camps were being held once every two months for the benefit of the public, and the next one will be held on January 17.

A medical team from HCG Cancer Hospital also conducted free cancer screening tests for patients at the camp.
