Ukhrul, May 20 2014 :
The Medical department of ADC Ukhrul organised a two-day free medical camp at ADC Dispensary Chammu Village under Sahamphung SDC Block, Ukhrul.
Dr Seeta Raleng, MO, ADC, Ukhrul led the medical camp which was attended by villagers of Chammu and neighbouring villages.
About two hundred villagers including children were examined during the two days medical camp apart from providing medicines free of cost.
Dr Seeta said that although the Ukhrul ADC has seven dispensaries in remote areas of the district, the dispensaries are without doctor.
The Chammu area is prone to most endemic diseases like malaria, typhoid, viral fever etc.
The medical team supplied and stored sufficient medicines at ADC Chammu dispensary to combat the outbreak of any endemic disease in the area.
The ADC's Medical Dept is also set to inspect and visit all the other remaining dispensaries to take stock of the situation and to provide the dispensaries with basic medical need.
