A Glimpse into a Dayalbagh Medical Camp at NOIDA

On 20th March 2005, Revered Prof. Prem Saran Satsangi stated, “Huzur Mehtaji Sahab also mentioned that among 'Satsang, Seva (Selfless Service) and Abhyas (Surat Shabd Yoga Practice)' the place of Seva is first and foremost. There is also a tinge of sacrifice in Seva.”

Revered Prof. Prem Saran Satsangi, further stated while drawing our attention to Revered Sir Anand Sarup’s dream in which a plant sprouted up breaking the ground and three leaves came out of it, “And, as we know, Huzur Mehtaji Sahab drew our attention to the significance of these three leaves. He said that these leaves stand for the activities of Satsang, the industrial activities and the philanthropic and charitable activities. The charitable activities include educational institutions, hospitals etc.”

Last Sunday, my dear friend, Mr. Sanjeeva Sahgal, invited me over to visit the Dayalbagh Free Multi-Specialty Medical Camp organized in Noida under the able leadership of Mr. Moti Lal Bhandari. The camp attracted 1,915 unique patients and 2,154 consultations; great community trust built over years.

The post this week is by Shri. Soami Dayal, a devoted Volunteer & President of the U.P. Regional Satsang Association and a Senior Leader in Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) on these

Free Multi Specialty Medical Camps for the Underprivileged.

Remain Healthy,

Dayalbagh Medical Association (an outfit of Radhasoami Satsang, Dayalbagh), organises Free Multi-Specialty Medical Camps for Medical consultation at Dayalbagh, Rajaborari, Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Noida, Delhi, Gurgaon and other Indian Cities at regular intervals. The target patient group is the economically weaker sections of society who cannot afford consultation with the best doctors or buy costly medicines or would have to go through various hoops before they can meet Doctors in Government Hospitals.

The adept Doctors and Technicians in these Camps are well respected in their respective disciplines. Additionally, a group of Volunteers makes the arrangements and ensures smooth functioning of the Camp.

In the recently concluded camp at Noida (situated in National Capital region of India), on 3rd Sep 2017, number of disciplines that were covered and consultations provided were as under:

In addition to medical advice by an expert doctor, free medicines for 3 days were distributed and special procedures like ECG and certain blood tests were conducted.

The Medical Camp at NOIDA has been held in the Satsang Bhavan campus every quarter for the last couple of years ably organised by the U.P. Regional Satsang Association, a regional body of Radhasoami Satsang, Dayalbagh. Volunteers distribute pamphlets to ensure that the needy have camp information in advance. The number of patients visiting the camp has increased as community trust has been established.

On camp day, about 200 Volunteers ensure hygiene, discipline, coordination, and help needy patients and their families. Volunteers also help totally disabled patients from their homes.

Few other special events are carried out on the side lines of the Camp.

In the recently concluded Camp, 350 children between the ages of 6 to 14 years, participated in “Hole in the wall” activities, drawing with pencils and crayons or playing Ludo, Snakes and Ladders etc.

In the Horticulture stall, a Volunteer Leader, who is a Director in PUSA, a leading National Research institute for Agriculture, and his team answered queries from 367 visitors related to Horticulture and Agriculture. 

The DEI (Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Agra) stall disseminated information about various courses conducted by DEI, Agra and its Information Centre at NOIDA.

I thank all the Doctors, Technicians and Volunteers who participated in this Seva, furthering our efforts to serve humanity.
