A medical camp is a community-based initiative that provides free or low-cost medical services to underserved populations. These camps typically offer services such as health screenings, vaccinations, consultations, and education on preventive healthcare.
Organized by healthcare professionals, NGOs, or community organizations, medical camps aim to address health disparities and improve access to care. They often include various specialties like general medicine, dentistry, and pediatrics, making healthcare more accessible to those in need. Overall, medical camps play a crucial role in promoting public health and raising awareness about important health issues.
A health campaign is a type of media campaign which attempts to promote public health by making new health interventions available. The organizers of a health campaign frequently use education along with an opportunity to participate further, such as when a vaccination campaign seeks both to educate the public about a vaccine and provide the vaccine to people who want it. When a health campaign has international relevance it may be called a global health campaign.
