Dalmia Bharat Foundation (DBF), the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) arm of Dalmia Bharat Ltd. (DBL) in partnership with the National Health Mission organized a Tuberculosis (TB) screening and awareness camp for communities around its Kapilas Cement Works (KCW) manufacturing unit located in Cuttack.
During the camp, essential screening and consultation services were provided for 350 people at Bagahu Jhatia, Byree in Jajpur. The primary focus of the camp was to identify and screen individuals for suspected Tuberculosis cases. A total of 55 sputum samples were collected, marking a critical step in early detection and intervention.
The event witnessed enthusiastic participation of local Sarpanch, Panchayat Samiti members from Byree, CHO-Barchana, Senior Treatment Supervisor, ANM worker, ASHA workers, Anganwadi workers, village leaders along with representatives from Dalmia Bharat Foundation.
Commenting on the initiative, Bhavesh Wala, Deputy Executive Director, DCBL and Unit Head-KCMW said, “At Dalmia Bharat, we are deeply committed to inclusive development and the health and wellbeing of the communities we operate in. In rural areas, people struggle to get the healthcare they need due to lack of resources and information. We hope through this medical camp we have enabled many to understand the impacts of the TB disease and encouraged them to seek medical attention in time.”
Dalmia Bharat Foundation has been at the forefront of social welfare and community development leading various well-being initiatives in the region. This includes extensive medical drives like Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) service, which covers an average of 1700 patients every month, providing accessible healthcare resources and services to the communities in need.
