DDS Health Camp for Disabled Beneficiaries: Ensuring Access to Essential Healthcare
The Disabled Development Society (DDS) recognizes that access to healthcare is a fundamental right—and one that is often out of reach for persons with disabilities. To address this gap, DDS organizes regular health camps designed specifically for its disabled beneficiaries, including children, women, and elderly individuals living in rural and underserved communities.
These camps are a part of DDS’s broader commitment to improving the overall well-being of people with disabilities by delivering free, accessible, and inclusive health services at the community level.
Objectives of the DDS Health Camp:
- Provide essential medical check-ups and consultations for disabled individuals.
- Diagnose common health conditions and disability-related complications.
- Distribute free medicines, assistive devices, and hygiene kits.
- Offer referrals to hospitals or specialists for advanced care when needed.
- Raise awareness on preventive healthcare, nutrition, sanitation, and disability management.
Services Offered:
- General health examinations (blood pressure, diabetes, etc.)
- Eye and ear check-ups
- Physiotherapy and mobility assessments
- Mental health and psychosocial counseling
- Vaccination and maternal health support
- Health education sessions for families and caregivers
DDS ensures that all health camps are disability-friendly, with barrier-free access, sign language interpreters, and volunteers trained to support participants with diverse needs.
Held in partnership with local government hospitals, private doctors, health NGOs, and volunteer medical professionals, these health camps not only offer life-changing support to individuals but also bring healthcare closer to marginalized communities where such services are often unavailable.
In each camp, DDS sees powerful transformations: a child receives her first hearing aid and smiles confidently; a mother learns how to better care for her paralyzed son; an elderly man with a vision impairment gets his first eye exam in decades.
These moments are at the heart of DDS’s mission—restoring dignity, health, and hope to those too often left behind.
