Approximately 100 nursing students enthusiastically participated in the rally, interacting with community members and encouraging their involvement in health-promoting initiatives.
A major highlight of the programme was a role-play presentation performed by the students. The presentation effectively showcased various government health schemes and programmes, emphasizing their benefits and guiding the community on how to access healthcare services. Through this engaging activity, villagers gained valuable information regarding available health resources and government-supported healthcare facilities.
In addition, individual by door to door approach and group health education sessions were conducted throughout the village. These sessions focused on topics such as cleanliness, personal hygiene, disease prevention, healthy lifestyle practices, and appropriate health-seeking behaviour. The programme successfully reached and benefited approximately 85 community participants.
To further enhance the awareness, informational pamphlets were distributed among community members. The pamphlets provided details regarding healthcare facilities, available government health benefits, and the procedures for accessing various health services.
The programme achieved significant outcomes by increasing awareness regarding cleanliness and sanitation, improving knowledge about government health schemes and public health programmes, and educating residents about healthcare service access points.
