KARNAH, MAY 11 – In a major healthcare outreach initiative for border residents, a Free Cancer Detection and Multi-Specialty Medical Camp was successfully organised at Sub District Hospital (SDH) Tangdar, Karnah, by the Indian Army in collaboration with the District Administration Kupwara and Quality Healthcare Hospital Drugmulla, with full support from the SDH Tangdar staff.
The camp witnessed an overwhelming response, with hundreds of residents from Karnah and adjoining villages availing free medical consultation, screening and treatment facilities.
A distinguished team of oncologists from Delhi conducted cancer screening and medical evaluation of patients. The specialists also counselled patients already undergoing cancer treatment and provided expert medical guidance and support.
The camp also featured consultation by renowned Gastroenterologist Dr. Majeed along with General Medicine doctors and other medical officers. Free medical tests and pharmacy facilities for distribution of medicines were provided to the patients during the programme.
The entire SDH Tangdar team played a vital role in the successful conduct of the camp. Doctors, paramedical staff and hospital officials worked tirelessly to ensure smooth patient management and healthcare services throughout the day.
BMO SDH Tangdar, Dr. Arif Khawaja, closely monitored the arrangements and personally interacted with both staff and patients to ensure proper coordination and efficient healthcare delivery.
The initiative proved highly beneficial for the people living in remote border areas by bringing specialised healthcare services directly to their doorstep. Patients appreciated the arrangements and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to consult expert doctors without travelling long distances.
Civil society members and locals of Karnah thanked the Indian Army, SDH Tangdar staff and the multi-speciality medical team for their humanitarian efforts and continued commitment towards public welfare.
The successful conduct of the camp once again highlighted the strong bond between the Awam and the Security Forces while reinforcing the spirit of cooperation, trust and service in the region.
