The camp started at approximately 10.15AM and continued until the evening.
Patients were given free consultation and treatment in various specialties like Dermatology, Gynecology, Cardiology, Pediatrics and ENT.

Dr Sreekumari Kav of Tharakkal Warriem led the team of doctors and technicians. At the camp, the technicians conducted free BP (blood pressure) checks and blood-sugar testing.

In addition, medicines were distributed free of cost.

Members of Tharakkal family are extremely thankful to Sai Seva Samithi and to the doctors and technicians, who rendered their valuable services at Tharakkal on Sunday.
