Although these camps were publicized as TB identification camps, many patients came to see the doctors in relation to other illnesses. They received careful diagnosis and prescription from our doctors. In some cases they were referred to hospitals (that are our collaborative partners) for free medicine and surgery.

During these camps Prajnopaya provided for food and clean drinking water for all its patients (their relatives), volunteers and doctors.

Patients from extremely poor background received treatment and care irrespective of their caste and religion.
