Health Camps
Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy Foundation is here to help you with organizing Health Camps in your Village/Mandal/District/State. Our beloved leader Dr. YSR has started Arogyasree and it benefited a lot of patients. With that spirit, Health Camps are great way to help the needy. Regular health checkup saves a lot of lifes in developed countries and in developing countries people does not go to doctor unless there is a problem. Villagers could untilize this health camp and get screened. Early detection could extend the life.
