Vaidam Health, a global medical platform, has announced plans to organize a medical camp in the Solomon Islands next month as part of its mission to improve access to specialist healthcare in under-served regions.
What is Vaidam Health?
Vaidam Health is an international healthcare facilitation platform that connects patients with trusted doctors, leading hospitals, and advanced medical treatments in India and other top healthcare destinations.
The organization assists patients throughout their medical journey by offering expert treatment opinions, cost estimates, medical visa support, travel and accommodation coordination, multilingual assistance, and post-treatment follow-up.
By ensuring transparency, safety, and end-to-end support, Vaidam Health helps both international and domestic patients access quality healthcare with confidence.
Why the Solomon Islands?
Vaidam Health selected the Solomon Islands to conduct a medical camp in response to critical healthcare challenges faced by many communities across the country. These include limited access to specialist care, especially for people living in remote and rural islands, constraints in healthcare infrastructure, and shortages of trained healthcare professionals.
Through targeted medical camps, Vaidam Health aims to bring specialist consultations, disease screening, and expert medical guidance directly to communities, helping bridge gaps in care and improve overall health outcomes.
Global Experience in Medical Camps
Vaidam Health has previously organized successful medical camps in countries such as Fiji, Vanuatu, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. Building on this experience, the organization is eager to begin its first medical camp in the Solomon Islands and expand its outreach in the region.
About the Medical Camp
A medical camp is a structured outpatient healthcare initiative designed to provide specialist medical consultations at a convenient and accessible location. The camp will operate as a temporary OPD (Outpatient Department), where patients can receive face-to-face consultations focused on diagnosis, medical advice, and treatment planning.
The camp may be conducted at either a private clinic or a government hospital, subject to local approvals.
The selected venue will ensure adequate consultation space, basic medical infrastructure, and easy accessibility for patients.
Consultation Process and Fees
Patients will be able to attend the camp either through walk-in visits or prior registration. A nominal consultation fee may be charged if the camp is held at a private facility, in line with local regulations.
If conducted at a government hospital, consultations will be free of charge. No hidden or additional fees will be involved.
Patient Records and Follow-Up
Basic patient details and medical history will be recorded during consultations with patient consent. This information will be used solely for medical coordination, follow-up consultations, diagnostic guidance, and treatment planning when required.
Outcomes for Patients
Patients attending the camp will receive expert medical opinions, initial diagnoses, and advice on further investigations or treatment options. Those requiring advanced care may be guided on referral pathways, including treatment options in specialized centers in India, along with a detailed treatment plan and cost estimates.
January 2026 OPD Medical Camp
The specialization and final venue for the January 2026 medical camp are yet to be confirmed. Discussions are currently underway with two potential locations—one involving Vaidam Health’s country representative and another with a government hospital. Further details will be announced once finalized.
Who Can Attend?
The medical camp will be open to all residents of the Solomon Islands. Anyone seeking a medical opinion from a specialist is encouraged to attend.
Registration and Appointments
Patients can register or make appointments through Vaidam Health’s country representative, Dr. Pedical, who will also be present at the camp.
Local Collaboration and Safety
A local doctor, Dr. Pedical, will be involved in the camp and oversee all activities under government approval. Language assistance will be provided by the local representative to ensure smooth communication between doctors and patients.
The camp focuses on consultations and treatment planning. Patients may choose to pursue further treatment either locally, if available, or by traveling to India for advanced care.
Role of Media and Community Outreach
Local media and influencers are encouraged to support the initiative by spreading awareness through news coverage, social media, and community announcements. Effective local promotion will help ensure that patients—especially those in remote areas—receive timely information and access to specialist care.
Future Plans
Vaidam Health has confirmed that more medical camps are planned in the future and views the upcoming Solomon Islands camp as the first step toward long-term healthcare collaboration in the region.
Message to the People of the Solomon Islands
Vaidam Health expressed its commitment to supporting the health and well-being of the Solomon Islands community. The organization encourages individuals and families to seek early medical advice and take proactive steps toward better health.
“Your health matters—early consultation can make a meaningful difference,” the organization stated, emphasizing its goal to work alongside local healthcare providers to ensure accessible, timely, and trusted care.
