Ludhiana, November 19
Keeping in line with ambitious project of ‘Aao Gaon Chale’ instituted by the Government of India to shoulder the responsibility of providing positive health care to every village in the country, Bibi Manmohan Kaur Memorial Welfare Society in collaboration with DMC&H recently organised a medical camp at Shug Bhatoli village in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh.
As many as 450 residents of Shug Bhatoli and nearby villages turned up and obtained the benefits of the medical camp.
A series of lectures and visits to family quarters were organised by the consultants to motivate the families to take required precautions for healthy living and making them aware about lack of proper hygiene and sanitation facilities. The secretary of the society, Air Cdr N.S. Chahal lauded the contribution of DMC&H in its endeavor of providing medical treatment to the needy and underprivileged. He informed that the society, since its inception in 1998, has held medical camps in remote areas of Punjab and Himachal Pradesh and so far, more than 25,000 persons have been benefited by its services.
