VHSE students to monitor blood sugar, pressure of the bedridden

Students reach out: A Snehasanjeevani lifestyle disease detection camp organised by the VHSE NSS at a school at Kilimanoor in the capital district.

Nearly 15,000 Plus One Vocational Higher Secondary Education (VHSE) National Service Scheme (NSS) volunteers are set to visit their bedridden or frail neighbours suffering from lifestyle diseases to monitor their blood sugar and pressure as part of the second phase of the Sneha Sanjeevani project.

Sneha Sanjeevani was initiated during the first COVID-19 lockdown to facilitate supply of medicines to bedridden elderly patients by student volunteers. During the second wave of the pandemic, the students made home visits to help people register online for COVID-19 vaccine.
