In partnership with local charities and their staff, we provide medical care, free of charge. We aim to empower and educate the patient and the population that we are serving. We aim to up-skill ourselves and the clinicians that we work with by exchanging knowledge and technique. The charity is run by a multi-disciplinary team of volunteers. This means that our staff costs are zero. 100% of what is donated is spent on patient care. In order to pay for the delivery of care, fund raising activities are organized. Any money that is raised through donations is used to pay for medicines, treatment and education of the population where the camp is held. (Please note, very occasionally we allow volunteers to ask for donations to fund their expenses. If donations are sought for this purpose, this will be made very clear.) Whilst the charity was registered in 2011, the leading members of the group have been undertaking this activity since 2001. The group started off small, originally there was just one doctor in the camp, which ran for two days, seeing upto 100 patients, mainly with problems related to Diabetes, The group gradually grown. It was felt that it should be formalized resulting in a company limited by Guarantee in 2009, which was converted into a charity in 2011.
