Health camps · referrals · Rayagada
One Sunday a month, a doctor's table is set up in a village that would otherwise travel four hours to find one: checkups, basic medicines, and — the half that matters most — referral papers and an escorted bus seat for the cases a camp cannot treat. Camps and referrals are what we do. Treatment is the hospital's job, and this page never pretends otherwise.
We screen, dispense basics and refer. We do not diagnose beyond the visiting doctor's scope, do not run a pharmacy between camps, and do not promise cures — a camp that promises treatment is lying to the people least able to check.
For Donors who want a camp costed to the rupee · Doctors and nurses who can give one Sunday a quarter · Companies whose CSR can carry a whole village camp
These four are promises this page makes on your behalf. Keep them or change them — they are not decoration.
Ways to give or join
Every figure comes off the last camp's expense sheet: the visiting doctor's honorarium, the medicine chest at wholesale rates, the tent and table hire, the jeep's diesel, the escort's bus fares. A one-day village camp for around two hundred patients costs this society close to ₹35,000 all told, and every card below is a legible piece of that sum.
One-time
The whole camp's cost divided by the people it sees: the checkup, the dispensed basics, the paperwork. The smallest honest unit of this work.
One-time
A referral slip nobody helps you use is a piece of paper. This pays the bus fares both ways, the escort's day, and the registration queue stood in — for one patient and one accompanying family member.
One-time
Paracetamol to antifungals to ORS, bought wholesale against the doctor's standing list — the biggest single line on the camp sheet, close to a third of the whole.
One-time
Doctor, nurse, chest, tent, jeep, escort fund — the entire printed budget for one Sunday, one village. The card CSR committees ask for, with a sheet instead of a plaque.
Volunteer
Registered doctors, nurses and pharmacists: one Sunday a quarter, transport and lunch on us, your registration number checked once and plainly — because a camp must be able to prove who examined people.
Pick the way you want to help and it lands in the form below. Picking another replaces it — this page records one intention at a time, not a basket. NO MONEY MOVES ON THIS PAGE: nothing is charged, deducted or collected here, and how giving actually happens is written under the form.
On the ground
No suffering close-ups and no saviour framing. These frames are placeholders for your own camps — the queue, the table, the jeep being loaded — people as neighbours using a service, never as objects of pity. Faces only with consent.
How giving actually happens
Paste the society's bank account name, number and IFSC here, and the UPI ID if you use one — exactly as the bank has them. State plainly that nobody collects cash at camps in the society's name.
Words you have permission to print
A visiting doctor, a panchayat member or a patient's family, in their own words, with their name — collected with written permission, and never words that claim a cure.
Your honest record
Last quarter's camp registers, dated: camps held, patients seen, referrals written, referrals completed, money in and what it bought. The audited annual figures go here exactly as the auditor wrote them.
The frames above are placeholder photographs of the kind of work this page is about — not this organisation's own record, and never a person whose face buys sympathy. The slots below are deliberately blank: this is a template, and an invented beneficiary count, an invented donor or an invented 80G number would be a lie on a page asking people to give — and inventing the tax registration is an offence. Fill each slot with something real and checkable, then delete this line.
How it works
Three steps, and money moves only to the society's account, only against a receipt.
The form records what you picked and how to reach you. Nothing is charged here — this page cannot take money, by design.
Within the week, with the account details, the next camp's budget sheet, and — for medical volunteers — the roster and the registration check.
Every camp ends with a register: seen, dispensed, referred. The quarterly sheet adds the money column. Donors are welcome at camps as extra hands; the queue always needs marshalling.
Before you give
Because a clinic needs what we do not have and will not pretend to: resident doctors, a pharmacy licence, emergency capacity. A camp that knows its limits and walks people to the district hospital does more good than a clinic-shaped promise that cannot keep clinic hours.
The visiting doctor writes a referral to the district hospital, and the escort fund makes it real: fares for the patient and one family member, a trained escort through registration, and a follow-up visit a fortnight later. That completion is logged, and it is the number we watch hardest.
Our camps screen and refer — 'treated' is the hospital's word, and we are careful with it. We publish each quarter's registers: camps held, patients seen, referrals written and completed. We decline to keep a running lifetime total; the register you can inspect beats the number you cannot.
80G applies only if the registration cell at the top of this page carries a current number you can check on the income-tax portal. CSR money needs our CSR-1 filing, same cell, same rule: the number itself or nothing. The office shares certificates before any transfer.
Yes — registration desk, queue marshalling, the loading and unloading that starts at six. What non-medical hands never do here is anything clinical, including 'just checking' a blood pressure. The line is bright because the trust of a village depends on it.
The one thing this page asks
One form, one intention. The office replies within the week — nothing is charged or collected here.
You want to help with
Nothing yet — pick a way to give above, or say it in the form.
Three required fields: a name, a way to reply, and which of four very different conversations the office should start. Deliberately absent: any health information (this form is not an intake and never will be), any amount field (the cards carry the costs), any PAN (that belongs with the 80G receipt at donation time), and any payment field — the page records intentions and takes nothing.
Your details go to the society's office for this one reply. Medical registration numbers are verified with the council and kept in the volunteer file only. Nothing is sold, and no fundraiser will call you.
