The camp, held on April 4, aimed to raise health awareness, provide essential medical services, and promote preventive healthcare practices among ISARD employees, beneficiaries, high-risk groups, and members of the local community.

A wide array of health services was provided during the event, including general health check-ups (blood pressure, blood sugar, and BMI), eye and dental screenings, and consultations with both general physicians and specialists. Participants were also given basic medicines and health supplements to support their ongoing care.

"My male relatives mocked me, saying, 'How can a woman drive an e-rickshaw?' But today, I earn 500 to 700 rupees (S$8 to S$11) a day, which helps me feed my family and educate my children."

In addition to medical services, the camp featured informative sessions on nutrition, personal hygiene, and the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases, equipping attendees with the knowledge to maintain healthier lifestyles.

Their entry into these fields is aided by government schemes and non-governmental organisations that provide free or subsidised training, with the aim of improving women's workforce participation.

The initiative received a warm response from the community and was recognized as a meaningful step in ISARD’s mission to foster health and well-being. By addressing both immediate health concerns and long-term wellness, the camp reinforced the organization's commitment to sustainable rural development. Buoyed by the success of the event, ISARD has announced plans to conduct similar health outreach programs regularly, further solidifying its role in promoting community health and empowerment.

The event featured a series of impactful activities designed to inform and engage residents. Health educators and peer counsellors led interactive awareness sessions focusing on HIV prevention, testing, and treatment. In an effort to connect with the local community, artists and residents performed skits, folk songs, and dances that carried powerful messages around reducing HIV stigma, promoting condom use, and highlighting the importance of regular health checkups.

Informational materials, including pamphlets, brochures, and leaflets on HIV/AIDS and STI prevention, were distributed throughout the event. A mobile HIV Testing and Counselling unit provided free on-site testing services, accompanied by confidential pre- and post-test counselling. Interactive booths also offered free condoms and lubricants to promote safe sexual practices.

This initiative reflects ISARD’s ongoing commitment to public health outreach. With sustained support from DSACS, the organization plans to replicate this model in other underserved communities across Delhi to expand its reach and impact in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
