Massive Health and Wellness Camps Held in Kamrup
Over 1,000 people benefited from specialist medical services and screenings at Seva Sankalp Abhiyan camps in Kamrup, Assam.
As part of the ongoing Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, two major Health and Wellness Camps were organized across the Kamrup Metropolitan District on October 9, providing essential medical care to hundreds of local residents.
High-Profile Visits and Inaugurations
The medical camps were strategically held at two key locations to ensure wide accessibility. The first camp, situated at the Chandrapur Development Block Office, was officially inaugurated by Tapan Das, the MLA of Dimoria LAC. During the event, Monjit Borkakoti, the District Development Commissioner of Kamrup Metro, visited the site to personally review the quality of healthcare services being offered to the public.
Simultaneously, a second camp was conducted at the Karmabir Nabin Chandra Bordoloi Auditorium under the North Guwahati Municipal Board. This session saw a visit from Hemanta Choudhury, the Officer on Special Duty to the Chief Minister of Assam, who inspected the various medical services and facilities available to the beneficiaries.
Specialist Care and Comprehensive Screenings
The camps were designed to offer a wide spectrum of medical expertise. Patients had access to specialist doctors across several critical fields, including:
- Obstetrics & Gynaecology
- Paediatrics
- Ophthalmology (Eye Care)
- Orthopaedics
- Dermatology (Skin Care)
- ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat)
- Dental Services
- AYUSH (Traditional Medicine)
Beyond specialist consultations, the initiative focused heavily on preventive medicine. Medical teams conducted rigorous screenings for Non-Communicable Diseases, Tuberculosis (TB), and HIV. To promote long-term well-being, the organizers also held awareness and counseling sessions covering vital topics such as:
- Yoga and Mental Health
- Family Planning and Nutrition
- Healthy Lifestyles and Disease Prevention
Administrative Support and Essential Services
Recognizing that healthcare extends beyond clinical treatment, the camps acted as one-stop hubs for various administrative and social welfare services. Beneficiaries were able to access:
- Ayushman Bharat: Registration for AB-PMJAY cards and e-KYC services.
- Civil Documentation: Birth and Death Registration services.
- Disability Support: UDID certification for persons with disabilities.
- Diagnostics: On-site laboratory investigations and the distribution of free medicines.
For patients whose conditions required more intensive intervention, the medical teams provided immediate referrals to higher-level health facilities to ensure continuity of care.
High Beneficiary Turnout
The scale of the initiative was reflected in the significant number of people seeking help. The Chandrapur Health & Wellness camp served 493 beneficiaries, while the North Guwahati camp saw a turnout of 502 beneficiaries, marking a successful day of community healthcare under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.
