Yatra Onlus promotes and teaches a health culture as a support for the person with free initiatives in collaboration with local associations. Yatra, in partnership with India Rotary Camp, organized a camp that offered a free check-up for women and men based in the villages near to Ranchi.
It has been a success not only for women who work in tailoring, but as we see from the photos, an important initiative for all the people of neighboring communities that do not always manage to have health care.
Here you are the report of the event
“Dear friends, very successful camp yesterday thanks to the efforts of the Rotari Club. On thursday evening I will be told about the exact number, but it seems nearly 1000 people came!!!! Several doctors and nurse and technicians were offering freely their services: general medicine, orthopedic, dentist, ENT (otolaryngologist), oculist, optician, gynecologist....
The Rotari Club will also offer all the spectacles needed (about 100) and the surgeries for cataract (about 150), plus other particular visits and check up for specific situations. The experience will be surely repeated at least yearly. It is the first time I could be involved fully in the initiative, so I am questioning how before we have been unable to achieve the same success. It is clear that the people here is in need of help, we have to learn how to offer it them in a proper way. Praise the Lord this time we could.”
