Fortis Malar Hospital sets free screening camps in Chennai
Fortis Malar Hospital, Adyar has taken the initiative of conducting free outpatient screening in the recently water-flooded neighboring areas of Adyar river in Chennai. It also provides accessibility to the Buckingham Canal that runs along Thiruvanmiyur, Indira Nagar and Gandhi Nagar areas.
The screening is being organised for Dermatology, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics Gynaecology and Orthopaedics.
The concept is simple. It's a walk-in camp, and people can avail the pre-screening facility by the hospital for 3 days (Dec 08-10). The prescribed medicines by the hospital will be given free of cost to the needy patients.
The situation in Chennai is grave as many areas have reported mixing of sewage water with the rain water, and many experts predicting an epidemic of sorts. Water borne disease, as well as accidents caused due to damaged road continue to pose a major threat.
