The Assam Rifles, as part of the Indian Army’s Operation ‘Sadbhavana’ initiative, organized a large specialist medical camp in Manipur’s Tengnoupal district. The camp, held at Tengnoupal High School, aimed to provide healthcare services to remote and underserved areas of the district. Specialized doctors from the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Imphal offered consultations in various medical fields such as ophthalmology, general medicine, paediatrics, gynaecology, dentistry, and orthopaedics.
The event saw the active participation of around 2,000 local civilians who received medical examinations, preventive healthcare counseling, and free medicines. Specialists from RIMS provided high-level medical interventions across different disciplines, benefitting a significant number of women and children who received specialized consultations in gynaecology and paediatrics. Additionally, elderly residents were treated for age-related vision and musculoskeletal issues, while the dentistry section offered essential procedures and oral care counseling.
A team of 65 officials and troops ensured the smooth functioning of the camp, providing logistical support and coordination. Local civil society organizations appreciated the initiative for offering modern healthcare facilities to marginalized border villagers, particularly focusing on women and children. This medical camp is part of a series of civic action events by the Assam Rifles, aiming to enhance civilian welfare and healthcare accessibility in the region.
By addressing a wide range of medical needs and promoting healthy lifestyle practices, the initiative has significantly expanded the reach of essential services. These efforts play a crucial role in strengthening the bond between security forces and the community, ultimately contributing to a better future for the residents of border areas.
