Pulwama, April 29: The Kashmir Medical College and Hospital Sempora on Wednesday organised a free medical camp at District Hospital Pulwama as part of its community health outreach programme, where nearly 2,000 patients were examined and treated free of cost, officials said.
The camp was conducted with participation from faculty members and super-specialist doctors from KMCH across multiple departments. Patients were provided free consultations, medicines, and diagnostic services, including ultrasound (USG) examinations.
The programme was held under the supervision of Managing Director KMCH Tausif Ahmad and Principal/Dean KMCH Prof. Nazir Ahmad Khan. Medical staff and specialists from the institution were present throughout the camp.
Officials said the initiative is part of an ongoing effort to extend healthcare services beyond institutional settings and improve access to medical care for underserved populations. They added that the objective is to reduce barriers related to distance and affordability in healthcare delivery.
Speaking on the occasion, the Managing Director said the outreach programme is aimed at bringing specialist healthcare services directly to communities. He stated that the institution plans to expand such initiatives further in the coming months.
The Principal/Dean said the response to previous medical camps had encouraged the institution to organise more such events across the region. He noted that KMCH has already conducted multiple camps across the valley and continues to expand its outreach activities.
Doctors from various specialties examined patients during the camp and provided treatment as per individual requirements. Officials said the participation of patients reflected the demand for accessible specialist healthcare services in the region.
The hospital administration said the initiative aligns with its broader goal of delivering patient-centric and affordable healthcare services, particularly to economically weaker sections of society.
