The camp was designed to strengthen preventive care and early diagnosis for truck drivers and allied populations moving through one of Bengaluru’s busiest transport corridors.
A Peer-Led Volunteers Meeting was successfully conducted at the Apollo Tyres Health Care Centre (ATHCC), Yeshwantpur. The meeting was made special by a surprise visit from Mr. Ashwani Sinha, Ms. Suma, Dr. Jyotika Gupta, Ms. Uma, and Mr. Kiran, who interacted with the peer volunteers and programme team.
The programme was conducted alongside a public event held in the region and aimed at extending preventive healthcare services and health awareness activities to the local rural community, transport workers, drivers, dealers, customers, and visitors present at the venue.
The meeting brought together project in-charges, programme managers, and implementing partners from across the Apollo Tyres Healthcare Centre network. Representatives from 35 project locations participated in this multi-day review to assess programme progress, review operational performance, and strengthen coordination across project sites.
