Secunderabad held a special event at the Military Hospital to mark the 59th Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA) Day on August 21 and 22. The hospital set up a medical camp for families of Armed Forces personnel in the area. This camp offered a variety of essential health services, including screenings for breast and cervical cancer, eye exams, ENT check-ups, and dental assessments. The goal was to detect serious health issues early and encourage military families to take charge of their health.
Shyamanjali Misra, Chairperson of the Family Welfare Organisation in the Telangana and Andhra Sub Area, inaugurated the camp. She encouraged families to focus on their health by getting regular check-ups. Her message of health awareness was well-received by the attendees.
To spread knowledge, the camp provided educational materials on preventing breast and cervical cancer. These pamphlets included tips on spotting early symptoms, understanding risk factors, and making healthier life choices. Doctors also held interactive talks, inviting families to ask questions and emphasizing the importance of early detection and routine screenings.
A standout feature of the camp was a lecture on organ donation. This session aimed to clear up misconceptions and promote the life-saving act of donating organs. Many families showed interest in supporting organ donation, reflecting their community’s dedication to service and compassion.
Over two days, the camp not only offered vital health services but also promoted health education and preventive care in the Armed Forces community. The initiative by Military Hospital Secunderabad demonstrated its commitment to the well-being of military families, highlighting the values of health, awareness, and shared responsibility.
