Medical Camp 2017  |
 |
Under
the Pharm.D programme, St.Joseph’s college of Pharmacy organized
a medical camp at St.Thomas U.P School Mavadi, Nedumkandam, Idukki district
in association with AASRAYA charitable society on 26th March 2017. We
conducted home to home visit prior to the medical camp to identify the
health issues prevalent in the locality, their perception about available
medical and pharmaceutical care services. Students were divided into seven
groups. The camp members visited 220 homes and educated the patients as
well as care givers with the aid of patient information leaflets. Each
team could identify some pertinent health and pharmaceutical care issues.
Most of the pharmaceutical care issues and some health issues could be
resolved during the visit. |
