Health camps help to promote preventive healthcare services by providing free screenings and detecting early health issues, if any. This is the third in a series of such health camps in Kapilvastu organised by Ncell Foundation. Prior to this similar camp was organised in Banaganga Municipality and Mayadevi Rural Municipality. Ncell Foundation aims to organise five such health camps in two remote areas of Kapilvastu.

This is a testament that Ncell Foundation is here for Nepal and the Nepali people. We have been organising social activities at the grassroots level, and activities like these at the provincial level help us connect with the local community.”
