Follow-up & Community Impact
So far from both camps around 50 children have come to MIOT Hospitals for follow up and treatment. MIOT has gone a long way in creating health awareness among the community that had been ignorant of their issues and available treatment opportunities.
The camp also brought a lot of paediatric issues ranging from congenital defects, nutrition levels to everyday problems such as cold, coughs, and headaches. Certain deep seated psychology and psychiatric issues were also brought up.
A number of common ailments were identified and given treatment on the spot during the camp; for the more serious issues ranging from congenital anomalies and minor surgeries the patients were asked to visit MIOT Hospitals. Treatment was undertaken for about 50 out of the 70 cases who came to MIOT Hospitals, Chennai.
The Management of the host organization was given a detailed report on the status of the children who were screened.
