In a small village called Cenimara in Assam, where getting medical help is hard, a bunch of wise and concerned women came together. But this wasn't a casual gathering; they all gathered at the Swastha Sawari Camp. The picture captured a powerful moment: a community, particularly older women who often get neglected in healthcare access, finally having the opportunity to prioritize their well-being.
Among them was Rohini Devi (name changed), a 68-year-old woman whose calloused hands spoke volumes about a life of hard work. For years, Rohini had ignored the persistent aches and pains, dismissing them as just part of ageing. However, the awareness sessions conducted at the Swastha Sawari camp brought her a realization.
The doctor patiently listened to her concerns and conducted a thorough examination. The diagnosis found high blood pressure with a potential risk of Arthritis of Knees which came as a shock, but it was also a turning point. Rohini, who had attributed her fatigue to simply "getting old," now understood the root cause. Rohini left the camp with essential medication and knowledge for lifestyle and weight management. She was referred to the nearby Gawahati Medical College and Hospital for further test and checkups.
All the other women received information on preventive healthcare, the importance of regular checkups, and how to manage chronic conditions. From simple lifestyle changes to recognising early warning signs, every piece of information shared was a step towards breaking the shackles of ignorance. Stories like Rohini's are a testament to the impact this initiative has – one checkup, one conversation, and one empowered woman at a time.
