Tackling disease before it hits
When it comes to maintaining good health, people from the lower-income groups are the worst off, as they have few resources for health care, and often live in unhygienic conditions as well. The charitable healthcare organisation MedScapeIndia is holding a multi-speciality health camp for the residents of Thakkar Bappa Colony, Kurla, today.

As consultant radiologist and MedScapeIndia chairperson Dr Sunita Dube says, “People are forced to live in poor hygienic conditions with lack of proper sanitation facilities. Improper disposal of waste and drainage facilities has made this area a breeding ground for life-threatening diseases.”
