RAJOURI: As part of the ongoing healthcare outreach initiative in district Rajouri, the one-week continuous Mega Medical Camp concluded successfully today with the sixth consecutive medical camp organised at the far-flung village of Galhan (Harichumma) in Block Kalakote.

The camp was organised under the directions of District Development Commissioner (DDC), Rajouri, Abhishek Sharma and Director Health Services Jammu, Dr. Poonam Sethi.

The initiative was launched following a recent review meeting chaired by the District Development Commissioner with the Health Department Rajouri. During the meeting, directions were issued for the continuous organisation of medical camps for one week in each block of the district, along with the deployment of Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) vehicles to strengthen healthcare delivery in remote and underserved areas.

The camp was supervised by Additional Deputy Commissioner Kalakote, Dr. Mohammad Tanwir, Chief Medical Officer Rajouri, Dr. Manohar Rana and Block Medical Officer Kalakote, Dr. Iqbal Malik.

During today’s camp, more than 203 patients suffering from various ailments were examined and treated by the medical team. Free medicines were distributed among the patients and necessary laboratory investigations were conducted on the site to facilitate timely diagnosis and treatment.

BMO Kalakote informed that X-ray services were provided using a special handheld portable X-ray machine equipped with advanced AI-enabled technology. He further stated that this initiative is being implemented under the ongoing 100 Days TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan with the objective of strengthening early detection and prompt management of tuberculosis cases in the area.

The continuous medical camp initiative has received an overwhelming response from the local population and has significantly improved access to quality healthcare services in remote areas of Block Kalakote.
