New Delhi, 25 October 2026: Regular check-ups, not treatment after illness sets in, were the focus of a Mega Free Health Camp held in New Delhi, as over 110 residents, including a 94-year-old, came forward for health screening.
Healing Hands Multispeciality Clinic organised the camp in association with Khushi Commune and the Indian Red Cross Society. It aimed to promote public health awareness and encourage timely medical check-ups, particularly among senior citizens.
Patients were offered free screening for blood pressure, random blood sugar (RBS) and instant lipid profile, along with consultations with doctors from dental care, critical care, general medicine, cardiology and gastroenterology, as well as dietician and physiotherapy services.
The turnout, and the participation of a 94-year-old in particular, underlined how accessible, community-level healthcare can bring people in for early assessment across age groups.

The event was attended by Padma Shri awardee and eminent cardiologist Dr S. C. Manchanda and MCD Councillor Aarti Chawla were also present.
“First step” in a continuing effort
Dr Bibhu Anand, Managing Director of Healing Hands Multispeciality Clinic, said the camp was only the beginning. “This Mega Free Health Camp marks the first step in our continued efforts towards public health awareness and community well-being.”
“Our objective extends beyond medical check-ups; we want to encourage people to prioritise preventive healthcare, undergo regular health assessments and seek timely medical advice,” he said.
Dr Bibhu Anand added that the participation of over 110 patients, including a 94-year-old, “reinforces the need for such community-based initiatives,” and that the clinic is committed to organising more camps and awareness programmes to reach a wider section of society.
