Indian Navy medical team reaches out to villagers in Kulpi
The Indian Navy has been reaching out to these people in various forms with a view to engaging with them- one of them being the conduct of the yearly medical camp by INS Netaji Subhash.
The Navy considers it impoprtant to engage with the fishermen and the people living in the coastal areas as they form part of an important information network towards coastal security, read an official statement.
In line with this thinking, medicos of INS Netaji Subhash conducted a free medical camp on 19 August 2016 as a part of Navy Week activities. The free medical camp is a yearly affair in the area.
Surgeon Lieutenant Commander Subhankar Datta, who is the Principal Medical Officer of INS Netaji Subhash and Surgeon Lieutenant Soham Das along with six paramedics provided consultation and treatment at camp.
More than 500 people from Kulpi and nearby villages availed of this facility.
The common illnesses that afflicted most of the people were Osteo arthritis, Gastritis, Viral fever, Hypertension and Diabetes.
The poor villagers were happy to find free treatment at their doorstep and requested the team to organize more frequent medical camps in the village, read the statement.
