An emergency medical camp was organized on October 2, 2011 in Harinkhola village, Tala Upazilla, Satkhira district to provide treatment to people affected by flooding. Over two months, a destitute woman had been living in waterlogged housing and suffering physical complications without means to regularly pay for medicine. The camp provided medicines to her and many other old widows. It treated diseases like dysentery, diarrhea, pneumonia and fever that were prevalent among flood victims. The objective was to reduce suffering from water-borne diseases and prevent their spread by motivating people on prevention.
