Such health camps play a vital role in creating awareness among young adults about the significance of early detection and healthy living.”
Apart from individual counseling, the camp featured health awareness sessions on crucial topics such as nutrition, mental health, stress management, and the benefits of regular physical activity. Pamphlets and informational materials were distributed, and participants were encouraged to ask questions about maintaining a balanced lifestyle despite academic pressures.
