Community Health Screening & Maternal Nutrition Camp in Adopted Villages
Community Health Nursing students conducted preventive blood pressure, anaemia awareness, and maternal nutrition counselling.
As part of their rural community health posting, GNM and ANM students organised a full-day preventive screening and health education camp in collaboration with local Primary Health Centre staff.
Services Provided During the Camp
Over 180 community residents received preventive check-ups and one-on-one health education under faculty supervision:
- Blood Pressure & Blood Glucose Screening: Early identification and referral advice for adults with elevated readings.
- Maternal & Child Nutrition Desk: Visual demonstrations on iron-rich local diets, antenatal check-up schedules, and childhood immunisation tracking.
- Hygiene & Seasonal Illness Prevention: Interactive poster sessions with local school children on handwashing and safe drinking water practices.
Community postings remain a cornerstone of training at Hemangini Nursing College, helping student nurses understand social determinants of health beyond hospital walls.
