ECHS Sparsh Programme

On 13th and 18th May 2023, as part of the ECHS Sparsh Programme, sixteen students from class X, XI, XII embarked on a visit to the ECHS clinic in Noida. This volunteering initiative, initiated by our school, aimed to familiarize the students with the history, purpose, and functioning of the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS). During their one-hour visit from 10 am to 11 am, they were assigned various tasks at different sections of the clinic, such as the registration office, medicine dispensary, laboratory, dental clinic, physiotherapy and more. Upon arriving at the clinic, they were introduced to the doctors and staff members and were divided into a pair and assigned their respective tasks. One of their primary responsibilities was to guide patients to the appropriate rooms and assist them with any queries they had. They provided directions to the dispensary, read their token numbers, and helped them locate their respective doctors. Throughout the visit they had the opportunity to engage with many patients who were curious to see young students in school uniforms at the clinic, and they took the chance to explain the purpose of our program to them.  The gratitude and appreciation expressed by the patients were truly heartwarming and made them realize the impact a small gesture of assistance can have on someone’s day. Students experience in the ECHS Sparsh Clinic was truly enlightening and fulfilling. Serving and assisting the patients at the clinic, interacting with the doctors and staff members, and learning about the various aspects of healthcare provision deepened their appreciation for the contributions of healthcare professionals. They were grateful for the opportunity to be part of this initiative and hope to complete the required 25 hours of active service.
