Swarsangya Charitable Trust & Nirmal Hospital Conduct Holistic Child Health Camp Under Poshan Sangam

Surat: In a significant initiative aimed at safeguarding the health and developmental future of vulnerable children, Swarsangya Charitable Trust, in collaboration with Nirmal Hospital, organized a Free Child Health and Development Camp under the Poshan Sangam (C-MAM) initiative implemented by the Surat Municipal Corporation.

The camp focused on children identified as Severely Acute Malnourished (SAM) and Moderately Acute Malnourished (MAM). Free services included CBC tests, paediatric examinations, nutrition counselling, and hearing screening.

Medical experts emphasized that malnutrition affects not only body weight but also brain development, immunity, speech, and learning ability. Health statistics indicate that up to 60 percent of childhood hearing loss is preventable if detected early. By integrating hearing screening into the nutrition programme, Swarsangya Charitable Trust ensured a holistic approach toward child welfare.

Nirmal Hospital provided medical infrastructure and specialist support to ensure professional execution of the camp.
The initiative highlighted the importance of early detection and preventive healthcare.
