HQ IGAR
Imphal Dec. 16
With an objective to provide better health care facilities to the local populace, Thinghat Battalion of 27 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) organised a free medical camp at Heijang village of Thinghat sub division on 15 Dec 2019. Medical checkups were carried out by the Regimental Medical Officers and nursing staff. Special medical issues of women were also addressed. Over 250 people benefited from the exclusive medical care during which free medicines were also provided to the poor and needy patients.
Local civil authorities were also co-opted in the conduct of camp. The medical camp was organised keeping in mind the medical problems of the people and paucity of healthcare resources around Heijang and adjoining villages. The opportunity was also utilised by Regimental Medical Officers to educate the masses about prevention of communicable and skin diseases along with other life style diseases affecting them. The locals of the area lauded the efforts of Assam Rifles and requested for more such endeavors in future
