Active Participation of BSc Nursing Students
Students of the BSc Nursing program at PGI College Pithoragarh played a key role in the successful execution of the health camp. Under the guidance of medical professionals and faculty members, students gained hands-on experience by interacting with patients, conducting basic examinations, and assisting doctors in providing care.
Such community-based programs are an integral part of nursing education at PGI, ensuring students develop not only clinical skills but also compassion, communication abilities, and a strong sense of social responsibility.

Screening, diagnosis, and treatment for hypertension and diabetes
These services helped identify health issues at an early stage and guided patients toward appropriate care and lifestyle changes.
Promoting Preventive and Accessible Healthcare

Many participants were able to learn about their health status for the first time, enabling them to take informed steps toward better health.
By offering all services free of cost, PGI College Pithoragarh ensured that financial barriers did not prevent community members from accessing essential medical care.
