They conducted a three-day medical camp in the flood-affected areas of Uttara Kannada district.

A team of doctors visited various places in the district, including Mallapura RFO Office, Siddara Primary School, Kadavada, Shiravada, Kinnara School, Kunnipete School,  Kinnara Anganwadi, Vailavada, Kharge School, Siddara ITI, KPC Kendra School, Kadra Colony, Shejavada, Veerje, Kadiye and Karavadi relief centres.

The doctors also administered first aid treatment to the affected people and distributed free medicines and offered counselling. The medical team was headed by senior intensivist from the Intensive Care Unit Dr Naresh Rai, senior doctor Dr Sudesh Shetty along with doctors from the general medicine, the paediatrics department and the orthopaedics department. The para-medical staff were also a part of the team.

The Srinivas Medical College Council was actively involved last year in Kodagu-Kerala flood relief work. This time, two doctors were sent to assess the flood situation and prepare the logistics.

The college students and the staff members extended their support by distributing food material, medicines and monetory support to the victims. The collected material and the funds were sent through the doctors working on field since five days. Victims from the flood-hit districts will also get a discount for any follow-up treatment in the hospital.
