Jhajjar, April 4
About 14,000 patients were given a through health check up and treatment at the three-day mega health camp which concluded here today.

The camp, which was the first of its kind, was organised by Sewa, a social organisation, founded by Congress MP Deepender Hooda in collaboration with seven top notch speciality hospitals of the country. The camp was dedicated to two freedom fighters of the area - the late Pandit Shri Ram Sharma and Chaudhary Matu Ram.

The camp was apolitical and it covered six Assembly constituencies of this district which fall in the Rohtak Lok Sabha constituency. It was the first of a series of such camps to be organised to cover the entire Rohtak parliamentary constituency. The exercise is likely to be concluded by the middle of May.

As many as 500 hearing aids were provided free of cost to the needy. Likewise, the Bhagwan Mahavir Viklang Sewa Samiti known for its Jaipur Foot artificial limb, provided contraptions to 76 handicapped persons free of cost. Two hundred tricycles and 75 wheel chairs were also distributed. More than 200 patients underwent eye surgery during the camp.

The hospitals involved in the exercise included Escorts Heart Hospital, Delhi, Jaipur Golden Hospital, Delhi, Sunflag Hospital, Faridabad, Guru Gobind Singh Centenary Dental Institute, Gurgaon and the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak.

Mr Ranbir Singh, former minister and the only living member of the Constituent Assembly presided over the concluding function. He presented artificial limbs, wheel chairs and hearing aids to the needy. All registered patients were given health cards for further follow up treatment in the hospitals concerned. He also gave away merit certificates to the doctors, paramedics and volunteers who manned the camp for three days.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Deepender Hooda said on completion of the proposed health camps, Sewa would organise educational melas in the entire area. The aim of these melas would be to encourage students to work harder and increase their examination scores, encourage parents especially mothers to take more interest in educating their children especially girls and encourage teachers to put in an extra effort to show better results. These melas would also provide career counselling to students.

Meritorious students of the area would be paid special attention and suitable study material would be provided to them free of cost. Mothers of meritorious female students would be honoured for helping their girl child excel in academics.

Yes...I saw his pic distributing health cards on Tribune.
Health services in rural areas has always been a problem. Many efforts were done in the past by forcing govt. doctors to serve atleast 2-3 initial years of job their in villages but things didn't improve well. I hope this new organisation Sewa approaches to this problem differently under Deepender's guidance. But it's really a good start.
Congratulations to Deepender for coming out with an idea of serving our rural community!

Deepender Hooda to launch health offensive
Raman Mohan
Tribune News Service

Rohtak, April 11
Buoyed by the success of three-day mega health camp organised at Jhajjar by Sewa — a social service organisation set up by Congress MP Deepender Hooda — the state government is planning to organise such camps all over Haryana to cover the entire population.

Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda told The Tribune on the telephone from Delhi today that since the camp was apolitical and purely a public service exercise, it attracted all sections of the society cutting across party lines. On the basis of feedback he had received, he was planning more such camps to cover the entire state. The modalities would be worked out soon.

He said the Jhajjar camp received overwhelming response and 15000 patients were treated free of cost by doctors from super-speciality hospitals like Escorts Heart Hospital, Jaipur Golden Hospital, Sunflag Hospital and Bhagwan Mahavir Viklang Sewa Sansthan, internationally known for its Jaipur Foot artificial limb.

More than 500 hearing aids, 200 tricycles and 75 wheelchairs were given to the needy. As many as 76 persons received artificial limbs. Likewise, several persons who were singled out for heart surgery at the Escorts Hospital Delhi were sanctioned funds for the same out of the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund.

Meanwhile, Sewa founder Deepender Hooda said several non-resident Indians from several European countries and the USA had contacted him on email offering their help including funds and equipment for future camps. Besides, several other super-speciality hospitals in the country had also contacted him offering their services for similar camps.

He said an eye hospital had offered to launch a programme in Haryana for making chosen villages cataract free. Similar programmes had been conducted in Tamil Nadu and the experiment had proved a big success.

Mr Hooda said he had a long meeting last evening with renowned heart surgeon Dr Naresh Trehan who was involved in several philanthropic exercises throughout the country and discussed with him how Sewa could tie up with him for its future camps. In the next camp to be held at Gohana in May several more medical specialities would be added.

Meanwhile, he said Sewa had also decided to organise education melas in several districts in July at the beginning of the new academic session. The idea behind these melas was to provide career counselling to freshers, honouring meritorious students and their parents and encouraging students to take up science and mathematics which were the key to the job market in the future.

He said he was holding discussions with several social service organisations to devise ways for making health camps a regular feature in Haryana “We will have to find a public-private platform which could make this dream a success”, he added.

He welcomed the Chief Minister’s gesture to extend the scope of health camps to the entire state saying Sewa would offer its full cooperation to the government in every possible way.
