Most of the women in rural areas do not have easy access to the health checkup. Availability of doctors and trained health practitioners are very rear. Due to cultural barriers and low literacy rate, issues related with Cervical screening and health checkups are rarely discussed. Hence, in order to increase the discussion on this issue and increase awareness about the importance on regular health checkup, A 3 Day’s Cervical Cancer Screening (VIA) Camp from 7th to 9th March 2019 was organized by BSN. The camp was successfully organized through the technical support of Tamakoshi Cooperative Hospital of Manthali, and Ramechhap District Hospital. The major objective of the camp was to provide health facilities for the women’s who are deprived from the access to the health facility in village.
A total of 332 women’s were offered with the service of health check organized in three different locations of eastern Ramechhap. The areas were mainly, Women’s mainly from Rampur, Dharapani and Gothgaon were benefited through the health camp. The support from Dr. Suman (Medical Director, Tamakoshi Community Hospital), Mahila Swasthya Swayamsebika are highly appreciated towards successfully organizing the health camp.
