IGAR (South)
Imphal July 6,
Sajik Battalion of 28 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) organised a medical camp at Khaikual and adjoining villages of Churachandpur district on 03rd July and 04th July 2019 under Assam Rifles Civic Action Programme 2019-2020.
Keeping in mind the problems faced by the villagers due to the prevalent socio-economic conditions and remoteness of the location, the medical camp was organised to cater for basic medical needs of the locals. The absence of a Primary Health Centre (PHC) in the near vicinity and poor condition of roads amplified the requirement of conducting the medical camp.
Specialist Medical Officer (SMO), Sajik Battalion with four medical staff provided free medical treatment and distributed free medicine to the people of Khaikual and adjoining villages and a total of 285 patients (94 males, 89 females and 102 children) were provided treatment. A complete checkup of every individual was carried out during the two day medical camp. Apart from providing necessary medical attention, basic knowledge on health education, hygiene and sanitation was also imparted.
The medical team not only utilized the camp to attend to the medical needs of locals but also reinforced the faith of the people in Assam Rifles.
