Gurez Medical Camp
Army holds medical camp in Gurez, Kashmir
Srinagar/IBNS: A joint medical screening camp was conducted Sunday at Tamam village by a team of doctors from the Army and Sub Divisional Hospital (SDH) Dawar, Gurez.
The initiative was a huge relief for the villagers who otherwise have to walk four kilometers through avalanche-prone areas to reach the hospital, an Indian Army statement said.
The camp was aimed at screening and identifying their ailments and providing them with free consultancy and medicines at their doorsteps during the harsh winters, it said.
57 locals were screened for blood pressure, sugar, non communicable diseases, and other ailments apart from a free dental check-up by the Indian Army dentist.
“Free medicines were also provided by the Army and SDH Dawar. The villagers were also educated on preventive care to be adopted for winters and precautions to be adopted against the rising cases of Omicron variant in Kashmir,” it added.
