Every alternate month, DIRECT conducts free diabetes detection camps at various parts of Chennai and surrounding areas. About 800-1000 people mainly auto-rickshaw drivers are tested every month free of cost for diabetes at each camp. Those who are detected to be diabetic are then brought to the Dr. Mohan's Diabetes Specialities Centre for life long free treatment of diabetes. Seven such camps have also been completed. It is proposed to screen 30,000 people in the next few years under this scheme.
