FLO Bangalore, under the leadership of Chairperson Ms. Deepa Boopesh Reddy, organized a Health Check-Up Camp through its Social Impact Circle on 1st May 2026, as part of its International Labour Day initiative. The camp was conducted with the objective of providing accessible and preventive healthcare support to BBMP Pourakarmikas, who play an essential role in keeping the city clean and functioning.
The event was graced by Sowmya Reddy, General Secretary, All India Mahila Congress Committee, and Deepa Boopesh Reddy, Chairperson, FICCI FLO Bengaluru. Medical support was provided by doctors from United Hospitals and RV Dental College, who offered professional consultations and screenings to the beneficiaries.
The camp focused on improving access to essential healthcare by bringing medical services directly to the workspace of the Pourakarmikas. This approach helped reduce common barriers such as time constraints, cost, and lack of accessibility. Basic health screenings, specialist consultations, and dental check-ups were conducted to support early detection of health concerns and create awareness about the importance of regular health monitoring.
A key highlight of the initiative was its holistic approach. In addition to medical check-ups, meals and essentials were distributed to the beneficiaries. This thoughtful gesture added warmth and dignity to the initiative, making the beneficiaries feel valued and cared for beyond their immediate medical needs.
