In January 2019, the Desai Foundation conducted its annual Sanjeevani health camp with IIT Gandhinagar, India. Our objectives to organise health camps with the best education institution in India are firstly, to provide easy access to high quality medical services to the children and their parents in rural India. Secondly, to create young social advocates by encouraging students to participate in the development sector. In this health camp, a total of 700 people from 6 different villages participated in the health camp. The target beneficiaries were provided with high quality medical check-up services by the following doctors: General Physicians, Dermatologists, Gynaecologists, Orthopaedic, Ophthalmologists and Dentists. Additionally, there were also 13 awareness stalls staffed by IIT Gandhinagar students on first aid, personal hygiene, nutrition, safe drinking water, diabetes, tobacco consumption, cancer, sexual and reproductive health and waste disposal.
