KAMPS stands by flood victims-2024

The Kidney Awareness Monitoring and Prevention Society (KAMPS), a volun- tary organization, has come forward to provide humani- tarian assistance to the flood-affected people with a large quantity of relief goods and healthcare equipment.

A team of around 10 members handed over all these relief items to the leaders of the anti-discrimi- nation student movement at the temporary relief col- lection centre at TSC in the

capital on Saturday. KAMPS President, renowned kidney specialist and Head of the Department of Nephrology at Anwer Khan Modern Medical College Hospital, Professor Dr M A Samad, led the team.

The relief items included approximately 8,000 pack- ets of oral saline, 2,000 bars of soap, 2,000 bottles of hand sanitiser, and 200 mosquito nets.

In addition, around one lakh health awareness leaflets were also distrib-

uted to raise awareness among the local population about the health risks dur- ing and after the flood, and to inform them about the ways to prevent the diseases and risks associated with the flood.

On this occasion, KAMPS President Prof. Dr MA Samad held a courtesy meeting with the student representatives and admin- istrative officials of Dhaka University, where they dis- cussed and exchanged views on the current flood situation.

KAMPS often organizes free medical camp for flood victims in different parts of the country. A free medical camp was organized for flood-affected patients at the remote area of Tangail, Bangladesh. Ten doctors under the leadership of Dr. M A Samad attended the camp. About one thousand patients received free treatment and medicine. Health awareness discussion meeting was also held to educate the people about prevention of communicable diseases.
