The Sisters of St. John the Baptist have expanded their healthcare outreach services, launching a new initiative to provide free medical camps and healthcare assistance to underprivileged communities. The program, which kicked off at their mission centers, includes general health check-ups, free medicines, and awareness sessions on preventive healthcare. The initiative aims to ensure that basic medical care reaches those who cannot afford it, especially in rural and underserved areas.
With the support of volunteer doctors and healthcare professionals, the medical camps have already benefited hundreds of individuals, including children, women, and the elderly. Common health issues such as malnutrition, anemia, and chronic diseases are being addressed through timely medical intervention. The Baptistine Sisters also provide counseling and guidance on hygiene, maternal health, and child nutrition, reinforcing their commitment to holistic well-being.
The expansion of healthcare services aligns with the congregation’s mission of compassionate service and healing. The Sisters plan to continue these efforts with mobile clinics and tie-ups with hospitals for specialized treatments. Through their unwavering dedication, the Baptistine Sisters are making a lasting impact on the health and lives of countless individuals in need.
