In an effort to distribute aids and appliances to the specially-abled, including those who are visually impaired, and to eligible senior citizens who are below the poverty line, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) will hold identification and assessment camps between June 20 and July 7.
The GHMC officials have identified venues throughout the city with one camp in each of the 30 circles. The camp will be held twice a day at GHMC community halls, sports complexes, and multipurpose function halls that can accommodate 250 to 300 people.
According to GHMC, the camp will take place at the Senior Citizen Welfare Association Building in AS Rao Nagar and Gandhinagar Community Hall in Ramanthapur on Monday.
Each team consists of two doctors, one prosthetist, one orthotist, two technicians, and two helpers.
SADAREM camp certification, or at least the receipt of application to SADAREM, is required for physically challenged individuals.
The camp will assess each applicant’s need for aid. The same location will be used for distribution later on.
