Introduction
Bosco Gramin Vikas Kendra (BGVK), through its Rural Health and Nutrition project, organized a targeted health camp in Bhoyare Gangarde village, reaching 48 children. Supported by the Cummins India Foundation, this initiative aimed to bridge healthcare gaps in remote communities where medical facilities are scarce.

Event Details
The camp, conducted in collaboration with Dr. Anita Sonawane and her medical team, offered:

• Comprehensive Health Screenings: Detailed check-ups for malnutrition, infections, and developmental issues.

• Preventive Education: Interactive sessions on hygiene, balanced diets, and vaccination schedules.

• Resource Distribution: Free supplements and medicines for children diagnosed with deficiencies.

Mr. Vilas Alhat of BGVK ensured seamless coordination, mobilizing villagers and managing logistics.

Impact and Importance
Early detection of health issues, such as anemia and respiratory infections, allowed timely interventions. The camp also empowered families with knowledge to prevent common illnesses, fostering long-term community health resilience.

Community Feedback
A local mother shared, “We travel miles for basic check-ups. This camp saved us time and worry. My son received medicine for his cough immediately.”

Future Steps
BGVK plans quarterly follow-ups in Bhoyare Gangarde to monitor children’s health progress and expand preventive care outreach.
