Health and Nutrition Awareness camps are organised to educate the community about healthy living practices. These camps often include activities like blood donation drives and distribution of groceries to those in need.
Bringing Health & Nutrition to Every Community
Chinmaya Mission Visakhapatnam West’s Health & Nutrition Awareness Camps
The Health Crisis in Rural North Coastal Andhra Pradesh
Access to basic healthcare and proper nutrition remains a major challenge for underserved communities in North Coastal Andhra Pradesh. Government statistics reveal alarming gaps:
📌 Over 45% of children under five suffer from malnutrition, with high rates of stunted growth and anaemia.
📌 More than 60% of rural families lack access to basic healthcare, leading to preventable diseases becoming life-threatening.
📌 Government healthcare centres are understaffed, with doctor-to-patient ratios far exceeding recommended levels.
📌 Only 30% of pregnant women in rural areas receive adequate prenatal care, increasing maternal and infant mortality risks.
Without urgent intervention, thousands remain vulnerable to chronic illnesses, malnutrition, and preventable diseases.
Chinmaya Mission Visakhapatnam West: Bringing Healthcare to Those in Need
To address this critical healthcare gap, Chinmaya Mission Visakhapatnam West has been organizing free Health & Nutrition Awareness Camps to serve the most vulnerable communities.
