The camp was conducted by volunteers from all age groups, including youths and students.
M.Ranjciita, 21, a nursing student at the Penang Nursing College, said she enjoys participating in camps and that it also speeds up her learning process; thanks to handling different type of cases and guiding patients during the camps.
The outreach camp is conducted once every month- with the objective of raising health awareness among the lower income group.
