BIS #1793 VIRAR CCC IN FULL SWING!

VIRAR, MARCH 10, 2010: The Community Care Centre (CCC) at Resurrection Parish, Virar was inaugurated on January 31, 2010. As soon as the CCC was formed, it began making plans of how to help the economically disadvantaged people of our parish. Of the many plans which the CCC has drawn up, one was to organize a medical camp.

The CCC organized a medical camp for the parishioners on Sunday, March 07, 2010 from 9.00 am – 1.30 pm. Dr. Theresa Pereira, a parishioner of the parish, along with the CCC members, coordinated with three technicians and organized the medical camp. The Camp focused mainly on diabetes, asthma related problems and various allergies.

Many parishioners availed of this facility which was provided by the CCC. Those suffering from asthma were made to undergo pulmonary function test. This test would have amounted to Rs. 1000/- or more in a laboratory. Thanks to the members of the community care centre, all the tests were made available to the people free of cost.

All those who have been diagnosed to have some health problems will now be closely followed up by the doctor who lends her service as a member of the CCC.
