Medical camp and HIV Awareness 2020-2021


Some important objecves of organizing a medical camp are that they increase community health awareness and teach residents how to handle communicable and noncommunicable diseases; register rare and severe cases and refer them to specialized centres; evaluate the living condions and idenfy the common challenges and obstacles to work on resolving their issues.

By providing free, high-quality medical services and fullbody complete medical examinaons for the underprivileged populaon; we can refer medical cases to surgeries and other complex treatments if required. Therefore, understanding the importance of organizing medical camps, Asha the Life of Hope Foundaon in the month of August organized a health camp for CSE women and their children. This health-oriented camp was held in the red-light area of the Turbhe region of Navi Mumbai.


Individuals who engage in unprotected commercial sexual acvity without any awareness are at an extremely higher risk of geng infected by HIV and other sexually transmied diseases (STDs) and hence HIV awareness is so crucial, especially for such populaons.
