An annual Medical & Surgical Camp was organized for Children with Developmental Disabilities in 8 blocks of Tenkasi District by the Enabling Inclusion team of @amar.seva.sangam in association with Velammal Medical Collage Hospital & Research Institute, Madhurai, at our campus in Ayikudy on March 23, 2024.
Children aged 0-12 years with developmental delay followed through the Early Intervention (EI) program were committed to receiving free services from a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals. A total of 80 children got a consultation & 140 parents, 42 staff with their family members, and Spinal Cord injured persons were consulted in the camp.
This program was organized to provide the service of a quality multi-specialty medical team consisting of a Neurologist, Orthopedist, General Surgeon, Ophthalmologist, Gynecologist, Pediatrician, General Medicine, Pulmonologist, Radiologist & audiology-qualified professionals under one roof for children with disabilities and developmental delays in rural Indian settings who would otherwise not have accessed these services due to the long distance of hospitals, cost, and time in traveling to medical facility centers.
