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.
