Karnah Kupwara(JKNS): A screening and diagnostic health camp was successfully organised in Upper Jabri under the personal supervision of BMO Karnah, Dr. Mohd Arif Khawaja, with the active participation of a dedicated team of doctors and paramedical staff.
The camp witnessed special attention towards women’s healthcare, with more than 50 female patients examined by two lady doctors. Pregnant women were provided specialised counselling regarding maternal health, pregnancy-related complications and the importance of relocating to safer areas during the delivery period to ensure their safety and access to timely medical care.
SDM Karnah and Tehsildar Karnah also visited the camp and reviewed the arrangements and healthcare facilities being provided to the local population. Adequate stocks of essential medicines were made available to ensure uninterrupted medical assistance. A sick child was also kept under observation at the Sub-Centre (SC) while receiving necessary treatment.
During the visit, BMO Karnah also attended a meeting chaired by SDM Karnah, where he took note of various healthcare-related concerns and medical issues faced by the local population.
The initiative reflects the Health Department’s commitment to strengthening healthcare outreach, particularly in remote and difficult-to-access areas of Karnah, with special emphasis on maternal and child healthcare.(JKNS)
