Free Medical Camp Activities | KAMPS Bangladesh

One of the main activities of KAMPS is organizing free medical camps to provide treatment to poor patients in different parts of the country. Professor M. A. Samad, from his desire to serve poor patients who are deprived of healthcare, started organizing the Free Medical Camp at Tangail in 2005. At first, he personally visited Tangail from time to time when poor patients from the surrounding areas came to him for treatment. Then gradually the initiative took a formal shape. To make the initiative more extensive, Professor Samad started arranging the Free Medical Camp, where thousands of poor patients gathered to receive treatment while a good number of specialist doctors, nurses, and technicians went to Tangail from Dhaka to treat patients throughout the day. This was fixed on February 21st in the spirit of honoring the country's martyred Language Movement heroes. Since then the FMC is arranged every year on the same day and at the same venue in front of the ‘Talim Ghar’, Hatibandha in Sakhipur.

Every year, on average, 3,000 to 4,000 poor patients gather at the FMC venue after being informed through announcements and posters across Tangail. Patients are also provided with necessary medicines free of cost, and prescribed lab tests are also done completely free. Since the beginning, about 1,00,000 poor patients have been given free treatment at the FMC at Tangail. In addition to Tangail, KAMPS has also organized FMCs in Noakhali, Chandpur, Shariatpur, and different places in Dhaka.
