2 ‘1st May - MOA Day’ Activity Guide

 Introduction
‘1st May- MOA Day’ is being celebrated to create awareness of
common orthopedic problems in society and fulfill our social
responsibility.
This day is being commemorated by offering free OPD camps and
conducting lectures on selected topics to build public awareness. These
activities can be held anytime between Sunday, 29th April and Sunday
6th May but preferably on MOA Day Tuesday, 1st May.
Orthopaedic societies, hospitals, groups of doctors or individual doctors
can work jointly or individually, to conduct a free OPD camp and / or
conduct lectures on selected topics to build public awareness.
The role of the State District Relationship Committee (SDRC) is to
provide guidance to members to help them arrange camps and lectures.
Doctors who are unable to make arrangements for camps or lectures can
pledge their time to volunteer at camps conducted by district
committees.
After the event, MOA will collect information on state-wide camps and
lectures and publish a consolidated report to document the contribution
during MOA Day. The report will be presented during MOACON 2018
in Pune.
All queries and information requests can be sent to
moaday.1may@gmail.com or you may contact
Mr. Justin : +91- 98500 95550
Please note, this document is a guideline to help & encourage you to
participate. Please feel free to modify to suit your population/
conditions.
We look forward to your support to make MOA Day a memorable one.

I - Organizing a Free OPD Camp

for example 9:00 am to 12:00 noon, 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, etc.

2) Space requirements
For any orthopedic camp, the space chosen should be easily accessible.
Availability of parking space would be an added benefit.

III - Activities prior to Camp/Lecture - Promotion

Making the local public aware of the camp/lecture is a prerequisite to

providing any service. Awareness and promotion of the camp/lecture is
critical to its success.

While MOA will play a role in creating awareness about MOA Day at the
state level, doctors should reach out to their local communities and
spread the message about their specific camps/lectures. Some ways to
do this are by:
• Listing the camp/lecture in the events section of newspapers
• Sending Whatsapp messages and your friends, family and
associates to spread the word
• Use of social media Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.
• Informing local NGOs and social organizations about the
camp/lecture
• Displaying standees/ banners/ posters at your own clinic and
other hospitals, community centers, etc. 10 days prior to the
event
• Hoardings in the city
• Handbills/flyers to be inserted in the local newspapers
• Press conference 1-2 days prior to the event
• Cable scrolls to be given on local channels

To help gauge the response and reduce waiting times at the camp,
doctors should encourage pre-registration of patients. Patients can be
asked to pre-register by sending their name via sms/whatsapp to a
number of the doctor's choice. Pre-registered patients should be given
first preference, as compared to walk-ins.

“Orthopedic Excellence Through Technology” 9

Promotional communication about the camp should include:

• Name of Hospital/ Clinic

• Names of sponsors, if desired by the sponsors

• Day, date and timings

• Free Orthopedic consultation

• Contact number and method for pre-registration

• Request patients to bring previous medical records

You can receive the design and format of the Sample Poster and other
promotional material by sending your request to
moaday.1may@gmail.com or contact Mr. Justin : +91- 98500 95550
