FLO Kanpur, under the leadership of Chairperson Ankita Garg, hosted a Mega Eye and Health Camp for Nagar Nigam sanitation workers who play a vital role in maintaining the cleanliness and well-being of the city. The camp promoted preventive healthcare and improved access to essential medical services for the workers. These frontline workers often have limited opportunities for regular health screenings despite being exposed to demanding working conditions.
The camp provided free eye examinations, general health consultations, blood investigations, reading glasses, eye drops, and basic health guidance, enabling early identification and management of health concerns. Also, it created awareness about the importance of regular health check-ups, personal hygiene, and timely medical intervention.
The initiative supported the overall well-being of beneficiaries by distributing free medical kits and sanitary pads. Through collaboration with healthcare institutions, Kanpur Nagar Nigam, and community partners, the program delivered quality healthcare services in an accessible and dignified manner.
Additionally, the camp provided an opportunity for nursing students from Rakan Skills to gain practical exposure through patient interaction and community service, helping bridge classroom learning with real-world healthcare experience.
