Indian Army in collaboration with Borderless World Foundation, Nasik Local, and the civil administration is conducting a two-day transformative medical camp on 13 and 14 May in Surankote Thanamandi and Kotranka.
This camp is aimed to assist the resident population and Gujjar Bakkarwal community deras from far-flung areas like Dara Sangla, Sangla, Faslabad, Marhote, Jammu Shid, Dograin, Poshana, Naili, Azmatabad, Alal, Pangai, Koranka, Samote and Mangota of Surankot and Thanamandi who access the medical facilities, healthcare services and medicines so as to enhance their health and well being.
This camp included teams of twelve specialist doctors of Borderless World Foundation, six specialist doctors from Government Medical College, Surankote and Rajouri, and Indian Army doctors collaborating together to ensure the success of the camp.
The team of Doctors includes ophthalmologists, General physicians, gynecologists, dermatologists, Paediatricians, and Orthopaedic specialists.
According to Jammu-based defence spokesperson Lt Col Suneel Bartwal the medical camp has a profound effect on the local communities, particularly the Gujjars and Bakharwals. Approximately 1800 persons including 600 males, 700 females, and 250 children availed the medical facility at both the locations.
These marginalized communities often reside in remote areas where healthcare infrastructure is scarce. The camp brought essential medical services directly to their doorstep.
