FLO Chennai, under the leadership of Chairperson Dr. Amulya Rao, successfully organized a Free Lung Screening Camp on 18 June 2026 at the Arpanam premises within Church Park School, Chennai. The initiative was conducted in collaboration with Arpanam and the Humanitarian Outreach Initiative as part of FICCI FLO Chennai’s ongoing efforts to promote community healthcare and preventive wellness.
The camp provided free on-site chest X-ray screening, respiratory health assessments, and awareness sessions focused on lung health. Beneficiaries were welcomed by trained volunteers and guided through a systematic registration and screening process, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience throughout the day.
More than 150 beneficiaries from the local community participated in the camp and availed themselves of the free healthcare services. Many participants underwent preventive lung screening for the first time, making the initiative especially impactful. The medical team also offered individual guidance on respiratory health, educating participants on recognizing early symptoms, adopting healthier lifestyle practices, avoiding risk factors such as smoking and pollution exposure, and seeking timely medical care whenever necessary.
The collaboration between FICCI FLO Chennai, Arpanam, and the Humanitarian Outreach Initiative played a vital role in the successful execution of the programme. The combined efforts of healthcare professionals, volunteers, and community partners ensured seamless coordination and effective delivery of quality healthcare services.
The camp not only facilitated early screening but also reinforced the importance of preventive healthcare and community awareness. By bringing healthcare services closer to the community, the initiative helped remove barriers to medical access while encouraging individuals to prioritize their respiratory well-being.
The overwhelming participation and positive response from beneficiaries highlighted the growing need for such community-based healthcare initiatives. The event successfully demonstrated FICCI FLO Chennai’s commitment to creating sustainable social impact through collaborative outreach programmes that improve public health and enhance the quality of life for underserved communities.
