For accurate medical results it is necessary that the participants come with an empty stomach and ensure that their last meal was 12 hours prior to the check up at the medical camp. The attendees will be provided with breakfast. The participants will also be provided free medicines through Wellcare Pharmacies by the CSR partner Malabar Gold and Diamonds.
The ‘Care and Aware’ medical camp is aimed at uplifting the health and well being of the society.

The registration forms will also be distributed through the volunteers from KMCC.

The managing director of DM Healthcare, Sameer Moopan, said that “the medical camp is aimed at reaching out to the underprivileged strata of the society to ensure that quality healthcare is accessible to all”.
The president of KMCC, Puthalath Ahamad, stated that “this camp aims to serve the low income groups who are not covered by medical insurance. The main aim is to provide good healthcare to those who really need it. We urge the people of low income brackets to make good use of the services being offered at the camp”.
The managing director of Wellcare, Ashraf K P, commented that “by reaching out to the people through such camps, we hope to drive the message of preventive care.
