Mahemdabad Camp - a PG activity of OMR Karnavati ?

All the three postgraduates Dr Bhumi, Dr Vivek and Dr Hiren accompanied their professor Dr Durgesh Bailoor in the poor patients treatment camp at Mahemdabad.

This camp is done in cooperation with the Shri Mohan Bhagat Sevashram, together with Dilip bhai and Mehta Bhai who coordinate with all the volunteers. Steaming hot boiling

water and betadine is provided for proper infection control. We see Dr Bailoor and Mr Mehta in this blog with the plaque of the institution behind them on dec 12 2010.

ART atruamatic Restorative treatment with Glass ionmer cement is being planned for the students of government school in the coming months and we hope to help the schools in other ways by providing books, school bags and black boards etc to those who need it.

This is planned to be a comprehensive social service program with emphasis on dental and hygiene instructions. Free extractions, antibiotics, analgesics and ZOE dressings for carious lesions is part of the phase I of this program.

This program provides a platform for the postgraduate students of Karnavati School of Dentistry to visit rural areas deep in kheda district and understand how the dental problems are being faced by the poor and underprivileged in contrast to five star hospitals in Ahemdabad and other cities in India where the rich and the insured spend lakhs of rupees in just diagnostics.

Only individual efforts by service minded doctors and NGO's can make a difference in alleviation of the health care in the poor and suffering in hinterland of India.

Cross Infection control in Mahemdabad Camp

Dr Durgesh Bailoor, Dr Sonali , Dr Hiren were working at the mahemadabad camp at Kheda district in Gujarat. All care for cross infection control was taken and treatment was rendered in rational and scientific manner.

Hand held powerful rechargable torch was held by Sonali and Dr Durgesh was fully attired with stethoscope for total care of the dental patients.

It was indeed a wonderful experience working with the rural brethren of Mahemdabad. More than 200 patients were examined and half of them treated .

What have u done for the poor recently?

Mahemdabad Mahemdabad is a small town in Kheda District of Gujarat. It is situated on National Highway 59 and is about 30 km south-east of Ahmedabad and around 100 km west of Godhra. Kheda is 12 km south-west.Dhumkal Sanctuary, Anand, Dakor, Kankariya Lake and the historic sites around Ahmedabad constitute interesting excursions outside Mahemdabad.
This area is one of the areas in which very poor people are staying and they suffer from multitude of health problems = poor dental care is among them - every alternate sunday a group of doctors lead by Dr Durgesh Bailoor are planning to work among the inhabitants of Mahemdabad and give their free service in form of extractions and Zoe dressings for poor and school children. Dr Hiren , Dr Vivek and Dr Bhumi have decided to be a team to do free work in the area. We may think of extending things beyond the dental care and see what more we can do ? this sensitivity to understanding the social responsibility is the first step to higher emotional intelligence and becoming a responsible Indian citizen with human touch .
