In June 2010 DEI University as a part of its community service activity initiated organization of Multi-specialty medical camps through its NSS wing in collaboration with Dayalbagh Saran Ashram Hospital and paramedical staff. Since then these Multi-specialty Medical Camps are being organized on every alternate Sundays all through the year.
These camps are being held in the vicinity of the adopted villages from morning 7:00am to 10:00am. One day before the medical camp a team of volunteers with staff goes to the adopted villages for canvasing and distribution of pamphlets. The pamphlets provide detailed information about the medical camp, its venue, time and the available medical facilities which would be available. Information about the camp is also given to all the concerned local authorities of Agra.
Preparations for readying the venue of the Medical Camp start one day before the camp when all the necessary equipment, furniture, tent etc. are loaded in the truck and Tractor trolley by the volunteers for transporting them to the medical camp site early next morning. On the day of the medical camp the NSS volunteers (20 per camp) arrive early in the morning at 3:30 AM to erect pandals, setup generator for power, setup cables to provide power for the medical equipment, setup tables, setup labs for a variety of medical tests including ECG, eye test, and pathological tests, and counters for registration and distribution of the prescribed medicines. Within no time the entire area gets transformed into a state-of-the-art multi-specialty medical facility.
The registration of patients is handled by female NSS volunteers and female Staff. Well experienced specialist doctors from reputed organizations across the country including Dayalbagh Saran Ashram Hospital, Faridabad and New Delhi consistently render their services in this medical camp with full dedication. Allopathic, Homeopathic, Ayurvedic treatment and physiotherapy are made available to the villagers in this medical camp.
For all the tests conducted in the camp the reports are provided immediately within the duration of the camp. Consultancy and Treatment including medicines and all the tests are provided free of cost in these camps. Patients throng the medical camps and this has become talk of the town. Later a few more NSS Programme officers and DEI staff members have started rendering their services for the Medical Camp.
