A free medical camp in Mysuru provided comprehensive health checks to 110 women pourakarmikas from Zone 9 of the city corporation. The screening included blood, liver, kidney, diabetes, thyroid, cervical and cardiac tests, while doctors also offered gynaecological and general medical consultations.

A free comprehensive health check-up camp was held in Mysuru on Sunday for 110 women sanitation workers employed in Zone 9 of the Mysuru City Corporation. The camp was organised by the corporation in association with Dr. Jyothi’s Healthcare Hospital on Rajkumar Road.

MCC Commissioner M.K. Savita inaugurated the initiative, which was aimed at safeguarding the health of women pourakarmikas. The beneficiaries received medical tests valued at around ₹5,000 without charge.

The screening included a complete haemogram, renal and liver function tests, lipid profile, random blood sugar, thyroid function test and HbA1c. The women also underwent Pap smear tests and electrocardiograms. In addition to the investigations, they were offered consultations with a gynaecologist and a physician.

Dr. Jyothi, the hospital’s chief doctor, examined all 110 workers personally and provided individual counselling and health advice. The source material did not give details of any diagnoses or follow-up treatment resulting from the examinations.

MCC officials and hospital staff attended the programme. They included Zone 9 Environmental Engineer Lokeshwari, Zonal Development Officer Harshiya Taranam and health inspectors Prabhakar, Sahana and Shruthi. Commissioner Savita praised the doctors, nursing staff and administrative personnel involved in organising the camp.

The programme formed part of an effort to provide sanitation workers with access to preventive and diagnostic healthcare. The source did not state whether similar camps would be held for workers in other corporation zones or whether the beneficiaries would receive additional medical support after the screening.
