The Rural Women Upliftment Society (RWUS) in Churachandpur organized a two-day health camp on July 3 and 4 to provide crucial medical assistance to victims of the recent ethnic violence in the area.
The camp was held at a community center to ensure ease of access to those displaced by the violence, which has left over 12,000 internally displaced persons residing in 106 camps throughout Churachandpur town.
On the second and last day of the health camp, a team of doctors and nurses offered their services to treat patients requiring medical assistance.
Among the volunteers were two medicine specialists, two gynecology doctors, one pediatrician, and four supporting nurses.
On the previous day, four doctors generously volunteered their time and expertise to assist patients in need.
Overwhelmingly, more than 500 patients received medical consultations today, including 212 women and 107 children.
Meanwhile 310 patients received consultations from the four volunteer doctors the previous day.
Free medicines, including sanitary pads and diapers, were distributed to all patients to address the scarcity of medicines as well as alleviate the financial burden of healthcare expenses on the victims of ethnic violence.
RWUS has expressed its gratitude towards the healthcare professionals and volunteers who donated their time and efforts in treating the patients.
