Village Dudi, Line of Control Macchal Sector, Kupwara
Srinagar, 21 Jan 22. During the ongoing harsh winter season, pregnant ladies were
facing lot of hardships in terms of medical care. The situation gets aggravated in places
like Macchal Sector, which gets cut off from rest of the Valley frequently during snow
spells, due to closure of pass at Z Gali, slippery road conditions and avalanche threat.
To provide due medical care and attention to women and children in Macchal
Bowl, the Army has stationed a lady medical officer, centrally located at Dudi. Today,
the lady medical officer conducted a Khariyat patrol in Dudi village to inquire about the
well-being of the villagers especially pregnant ladies and other women, girls and
children.
The Doctor carried out medical examination of pregnant ladies. She also
examined other villagers including children and also distributed medicines. Such
Khariyat patrols will continue by the lady doctor in the days to come with special focus
on addressing the medical needs of pregnant ladies.
