At WellAura, we believe that quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone. This belief motivated us to organize a free walk-in health check-up camp at Urbanest by Modern Spaaces, Sarjapur, on November 16, 2024. The goal was simple: to provide essential health screenings and wellness consultations to the community, raise awareness about the importance of regular check-ups, and empower individuals to take charge of their well-being.
Tests and Services Covered in the Camp
The health camp offered a variety of essential services, giving participants a quick and comprehensive snapshot of their current health status. Here’s what was included:
Weight, Pulse, Blood Pressure and Oxygen Saturation
We began by measuring participants’ weight and checking their pulse rate, blood pressure (BP), and oxygen saturation (SpO2) levels. These quick assessments provide a comprehensive overview of general health and help detect potential issues, such as low oxygen levels, irregular heartbeat, or abnormal blood pressure.
Random Blood Sugar Testing
With the rising prevalence of diabetes, especially in urban areas, we conducted random blood sugar tests. This quick and painless screening helps detect elevated blood sugar levels, providing an early indicator of potential diabetes.
Doctor Consultation
Our experienced doctors were on-site to offer one-on-one consultations. Participants had the opportunity to discuss their health concerns, receive immediate feedback, and get advice on managing any identified issues.
Counselor Consultation
WellAura has always been a strong advocate of mental wellbeing. So, we invited our mental health counselor to the camp to talk to our participants. The counselor consultation offered a safe space for participants to talk about their stress, anxiety, and other mental health concerns. It was heartening to see many individuals, including security staff, take advantage of this service.
A Positive Response From the Community
Team WellAura was thrilled with the overwhelming and heartwarming response from the community. We welcomed participants from all walks of life, including local residents, working professionals, and security and housekeeping staff. The diverse turnout highlighted the community’s eagerness to prioritize their health.
One of the key highlights was the participation of security and housekeeping staff, who often face long working hours and have limited access to quality healthcare services. We were glad to offer them a basic health assessment and the opportunity to seek advice from a medical professional without barriers.
A Word From WellAura’s Founder
“As the founder of WellAura, I am deeply grateful for the positive response from our community at this health check-up camp. It’s a reminder of why we started WellAura in the first place—to make quality healthcare accessible and inclusive for all, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Taking care of our health is the most important step towards a better quality of life. This event is just one of many initiatives aimed at promoting wellness, and I want to thank every participant for prioritizing their health and trusting us with their care. Together, we are building a healthier community.”
“We believe that by providing a safe, welcoming environment for everyone, we can help bridge the gap in healthcare access and encourage proactive steps towards better health,” she added.

Importance of Regular Health Check-Ups
Many participants expressed gratitude for the opportunity to check in on their health. Regular health screenings are crucial because they help detect potential health issues early, even before symptoms appear. Simple tests like blood sugar and blood pressure monitoring can provide early warning signs for conditions like diabetes and hypertension. These screenings, combined with consultations, offer valuable guidance on lifestyle changes to improve overall health and well-being.
