Nurses organise health camp

-

One of the major benefits of Sri Lanka’s health care is that it’s free for all citi- zens.

Dozens of free health camps are organised almost every month by various organisati­ons, offering the public the opportu- nity to obtain treatment for ailments or do a health checkup.

Such camps offer an invaluable service in that, when they take place in a certain area, they virtually bring the hospital to people’s doorsteps.

Male and female, young and old; everyone is welcome to attend. Our photograph­er captured these scenes from one such health camp held this week in Wellawatte.

The clinic was organised by the students of the Nurses Training School Colombo.
