Pherzawl, December 15 2024: Aimed at promoting health and well-being of internally displaced persons and local villagers, Assam Rifles conducted a medical camp at Parbung village, Pherzawl district on December 14 .

According to a release issued by IGAR (South), the medical camp was designed to cater to the healthcare needs of women, children, and the elderly, including individuals from nearby relief camps.

A dedicated team of Assam Rifles doctors, along with two medical officers from the Government Hospital, worked collaboratively to ensure comprehensive healthcare services were available on-site.

Volunteers from various Civil Society Organizations and Student Organizations played a crucial role in supporting the camp by assisting with paramedical services and logistics.

Their involvement was instrumental in facilitating the successful execution of this initiative in a remote area.

IGAR (S) continued that beyond consultations, the camp provided medications for patients suffering from conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, asthma, abdominal pain, upper respiratory tract infections (URTI), and fever.

Additionally, needy patients received essential medical equipment including lumbar belts, knee caps.

The response from the local community was overwhelmingly positive, with a total of 347 residents benefiting from the medical camp.

This included 86 men, 113 women, and 148 children, all of whom received much-needed medical attention.

This initiative not only addressed immediate healthcare needs but also fostered greater harmony between the Assam Rifles and local communities, reinforcing the commitment to support and uplift those affected by displacement, added the IGAR (S) .
