Panmedical team conducted its largest on site health camp in the village of Tonku in Jharkhand state of India. A total of 90 patients were taken care of under the care of three doctors. Despite very bad weather, a successful camp was made possible by the resilient residents of this deprived community who stood for hours in the pouring rain.
There was a lab technician on site who was able to collect blood and urine specimens from patients for investigations. The two nursing assistants screened everyone for high blood pressure and weight.
Medicines were provided to patients including paracetamol, ibuprofen, multivitamins, iron, and calcium with vitamin D. Children were prescribed deworming treatment. Nutrition advice was given to underweight women and groceries arranged from Akshay Patra. Boxed lunch was also provided for everyone.
