Her parents, Dr Madhu Chopra (gynaecologist) and Dr Ashok Chopra (physician and cancer surgeon) own the clinic. 

Affordable healthcare 
Says Dr Madhu Chopra, “The idea is to provide quality services to people who can’t normally avail of them, at affordable prices. Bone cancer detection was one of the services provided at the camp, as the bone density level of children and old people were checked. 

“One of the highlights of this camp was the HIV-AIDS special screening we had. We explained to people that there is no reason to be afraid of the illness.” 

Aimed at the needy 
The camps will be conducted once every two months — the next one will be on ophthalmology and some of the rest will include ENT problems and allergies. Says Priyanka, “I will be involved every time because it is part of the community service I believe in.” 

Her father adds, “We will be concentrating mostly on children, poor women and geriatrics, as these groups are most neglected. We also plan to hold ENT camps in the future, where we will donate free spectacles and ear aids.”

Kasturi Polyclinic is a multi–speciality centre in Oshiwara. Says Dr Madhu Chopra, “I am pro-life; we don’t allow abortions here.”
