The camp was organised in association with Jalandhar based World Cancer Care Charitable Trust during which free cancer screening and medical consultation were provided to more than 800 people from around 15 villages of Patiala and Fatehgarh Sahib districts.
This camp was held as a part of CSR initiatives being undertaken by Nabha Power Limited for creating awareness and help in early detection of cancer to improve the chances of a complete cure of the disease.
It was conducted by a team of health experts from Jalandhar, who examined the people and conducted various tests including mammography, pap smear, PSA test for prostate cancer, screening for oral cancer, bone density and blood test to diagnose various cancers. General tests like ECG, hba1c for sugar, blood pressure and complete blood test were also conducted during the camp. Free medical counselling was also provided to the people at the camp.

Our teams work closely with the village panchayats and the local communities to promote quality healthcare in various villages of two districts.”
