The team also distributed prophylactics and literature on safe sex practices, the statement said.
The camp was a huge success, a total of 300 people from Sangdai, Lungchin, Ngalijang, Tuikui Mullam, Lungthul E, Twelkhiang, Sondo and Enpum attended the camp to seek medical aid.
The team of doctors and medical assistants addressed the locals and gave them advice on everyday hygiene practices and save sex, it added.
