Healthcare VT Seva is dedicated to supporting healthcare initiatives. From mental health services and cancer awareness walkathons to informative sessions in the USA, VT Seva's India branch, Vikas Tarangini, organizes numerous workshops focused on women's health under Mahila Arogya Vikas program. This initiative aims for early detection of cervical cancer, offers assistance for diagnosed cases requiring further medical or surgical intervention, and conducts awareness and education programs to help women recognize signs and symptoms of various cancers. Additionally, under the Arogya Vikas banner, camps are organized for Pediatrics, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Cardiology, and Dentistry. Moreover, the India wing also offers Ayurvedic healthcare services. How You Can Help: - You can donate directly to healthcare camps here (once you click on the donation form, you can choose "health care" for one-time or recurring donations). Why Donate? Many underprivileged families lack the resources to access hospitals or connect with the right specialists. The free camps ensure that we reach those in need and provide essential services and awareness. Have questions? Contact us at secretary@vtsworld.org .
