On the 21st of March, 2024, the Village Reconstruction Organisation (VRO) organized a one-day free Medical Camp in the Repalle Circle, catering to the underprivileged individuals belonging to the Scheduled Tribe of Yanadi. The medical team, led by Dr. Ratna Kumai MBBS and Dr. Dinesh MBBS from the Community Health Centre in Nagaram, Repalle, was accompanied by Mrs. Devaki, Circle Coordinator, 9 VRO volunteers, and 5 Community Workers of Repalle Circle. Together, they visited three villages – Vellaturu VRO Colony, Alluri Kalava Katta, and Isukapalli VRO Colony – where they provided medical examinations and dispensed necessary medications to 202 villagers, free of charge.
This initiative aimed to address the healthcare needs of individuals who are often neglected due to their financial constraints, preventing them from seeking medical assistance at hospitals. Many individuals experienced a range of health issues, including bone and muscle pain, gastric problems, the common cold, cough, and fever. Additionally, a significant number of individuals suffered from anemia and weakened immunity. Some individuals also reported allergies, high blood pressure, and diabetes. The medical interventions offered at the camp played a crucial role in alleviating these long-standing health issues, ultimately contributing to the overall well-being of the beneficiaries.
The recipients of the medical camp expressed their gratitude towards VRO for organizing this much-needed initiative, recognizing it as a vital intervention that addressed a pressing need within the community.
