Mysuru: Family Planning Association of India (FPAIndia), Mysuru Branch, has conducted 10 health camps for the flood victims at Kodagu district. The health check-up focused on sexual and reproductive health issues because of the increased chances of the victims succumbing to these infections.

The camp was organised at select relief centres and villages in Kodagu district. FPAIndia is financially supported by FPAIndia Head Quarters at Mumbai.

At the free medical camp, psychological and emotional aspects of the victims were observed carefully and counselling done to encourage the people to face the situation.
