NEPAL — On July 6, 2024, a Hope for Children center in the Diocese of Itahari organized a free health check-up camp in Itahari Sub-Metropolitan Ward No. 3 in collaboration with the Itahari Sub-Metropolitan City Health Branch and with the technical support of Inkha Integrated Hospital.
During the camp, children’s general health examinations and blood tests were performed, while parents had their diabetes and blood pressure checked. Additionally, children’s height and weight were measured. Fortunately, no patients presented with complex diseases; most were treated for common ailments such as colds, earaches, and fevers. Some individuals with stomach issues required x-rays, and two injured patients received bandages.
A total of 14 types of medicines were distributed to the patients at the camp. Approximately 500 people, including children, benefited from the free health check-ups, which started at 9:30 am and concluded at 4:00 pm. Despite continuous rain from morning until evening, the program proceeded smoothly and successfully.
The medical team expressed their gratitude for being part of the health camp conducted by Hope for Children. They committed to participating in future health-related programs and providing assistance wherever necessary.
Ward Chairman of Ward No. 3, Mr. Umesh Subedi, also extended his thanks to Hope for Children, the staff, doctors, and the entire team for making the health camp a success in his ward.
Community members expressed their appreciation for the health camp and suggested that conducting such camps annually would greatly benefit their community.
About Believers Eastern Church
Believers Eastern Church is an evangelical, indigenous church movement within Asia that works to follow Christ’s example of loving others and be obedient to His Great Commission. Throughout the Gospels, Jesus spent most of His time relieving people’s physical suffering. Jesus always responded with compassion, regardless of the type of suffering people endured (St Matthew 9:35-38). The Church often thinks of ministry as being either spiritual or social, but Jesus ministered to man as one whole being, made up of body, soul and spirit. This is why we are passionate about ministering to the needs of humandkind, regardless of whether those needs are spiritual or physical, and it is also why we serve humanity regardless of caste, creed, or religion.
