Supported by IAOH, AINU, and Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Medical Sciences, the camp offered a full suite of preventive health checks free of cost. It included dental screening, blood pressure, blood sugar, height and weight, SpO, serum creatinine, CBC blood tests, and personalised doctor consultations. Over 100 Urbaser workers and local residents received comprehensive free screening.
