 The
residents of Melyal and nearby villages located in remote
corners of Kupwara district in Jammu and Kashmir were not
getting due medical care due to lack of adequate medical and
specialist facilities. Prevailing militancy situation in the
region had further aggravated the conditions as civil doctors
were quite apprehensive visiting the areas.
 HQ 68 Mountain Brigade
took upon itself the task of organising medical camp in
village Melyal with a view of alleviating the problems of
local population. HQ 28 Infantry Division immediately ordered
release of Sadbhawana Medicines worth Rs 11000.
A medical camp was
organised recently in which a total of 1129 patients were
treated. Eight doctors (both civil and Army) including three
specialists rendered their services. Pathological
laboratory
and family planning education cell were also established.
Free conveyance, canteen facilities and light refreshment to
waiting patients and their relatives were also provided.
