Health Check-up Camp \u2013 1<\/strong>8th<\/sup> Jan 2026<\/strong><\/h2>

(To Commemorate Indian Army Day on 15th<\/sup> Jan)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Event Overview<\/strong><\/p>

Date:<\/strong> 18 January 2026
Location:<\/strong> Sanatan Dharam Mandir, GK-3, New Delhi<\/p>

Event Introduction<\/strong><\/p>

In partnership with the Sanatan Dharam Mandir Management Committee of GK-3 and leading healthcare providers, Humanity Always First Charitable Trust (HAFCT) organized a comprehensive free health check-up camp at the Mandir Hall. The main beneficiaries were the domestic staff (maids, drivers, attendants) of the residents of GK-3.<\/p>

From basic health screenings to specialized consultations, from young children to elders including Super Senior Citizens. Every individual received personalized attention and care. Given Delhi’s ongoing challenges with air pollution, we placed special emphasis on lung function testing\u2014a critical need for our community’s respiratory health.<\/p>

74<\/strong> community members walked through our doors that day and left with a better understanding of their health status, actionable medical advice, and in many cases, immediate relief through on-site spectacle provision. For many, this was their first comprehensive health screening in years. In 19 <\/strong>cases, free spectacles were also provided to the needy and 16 <\/strong>were identified as cases for cataract surgery requiring further check up at the clinic for the pre-operation check-up. There were 29<\/strong> beneficiaries who opted for Thyroid Blood Test.<\/p>

Health Discoveries<\/strong><\/p>

Hidden Health Threats Detected<\/strong><\/p>

For 74 community members, January 18th<\/sup> revealed hidden health threats. Early detection of these conditions enables timely intervention to prevent serious complications including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and vision loss.<\/p>

Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Risk<\/strong><\/p>

Multiple beneficiaries discovered dangerously elevated blood pressure levels without any prior symptoms. Some readings indicated immediate risk for heart attacks and strokes. Physicians provided counseling on salt reduction, stress management, and daily monitoring. For working-age adults, this screening identified a treatable condition before it became life-threatening. In one case the ECG revealed a very high risk and the person had to be referred to hospital immediately.<\/p>

Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders<\/strong><\/p>

Several individuals tested positive for undiagnosed Type 2 diabetes, while others showed pre-diabetic glucose levels. In Six cases random blood sugar exceeded 250 mg\/dL. Early detection enables management through diet, exercise, and medication before complications develop.<\/p>

Vision Correction<\/strong><\/p>

Eye examinations revealed numerous cases of uncorrected myopia affecting reading & work capacity of beneficiaries. Many received spectacles on-site for conditions they’d lived with for years due to cost barriers. Immediate vision correction improved both safety and quality of life.<\/p>

Bone Density & Osteoporosis<\/strong><\/p>

BMD testing identified concerning bone density loss, particularly among women and elderly beneficiaries. A few showed severe osteoporosis, putting themselves at high fracture risk. These findings prompted specific recommendations for calcium supplementation, vitamin D intake, and weight-bearing exercises to maintain mobility and independence.<\/p>

Lung Function & Respiratory Health<\/strong><\/p>

Pulmonary function tests revealed significantly reduced lung capacity in community members with high pollution exposure. Auto-rickshaw drivers and street vendors showed lung function comparable to smokers despite never smoking. In few cases capacity tested at less than 50% of normal. Results prompted N95 mask distribution and breathing exercise training.<\/p>
