Kargil, Jul 30: A pioneering two-day Multi Super-Speciality Health Camp held at District Hospital Kurbathang concluded on a high note, with nearly 800 patients receiving advanced medical care and 13 surgeries performed, including the first-ever IVF and TURP procedures in the region.
The initiative, spearheaded by AL-REZA Health Care & Research Foundation (HC & RF) in collaboration with Sheikh Ul Alam Hospital Srinagar and the Department of Health, Kargil, brought together a team of leading super-specialists from Kashmir to offer services across departments such as Endocrinology, Cardiology, Neurology, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, and Assisted Reproductive Technology.
During the camp, experts including Dr. Ashiq Hussain (Urology), Dr. Idrees (Pediatric Surgery), Dr. Sulemaan Shawl (Orthopaedics), Dr. Syed Nasir (Gynecology), and Dr. Arshid (IVF) conducted thorough assessments and surgical procedures. Among the 13 operations carried out were Laparoscopic Dermoid Cyst Excision, C-Arm guided Nerve Blocks, and TURP surgeries, marking a transformative leap in Kargil’s clinical capabilities.
Inaugurated by Chief Executive Councillor of LAHDC Kargil, Dr. Mohd Jaffer Akhone, the camp drew strong support from the local administration and religious leadership. Also present were President of JUIAK Sheikh Nazir Ul Mehdi Mohammadi, General Secretary Sheikh Ibrahim Khalili, ADC Kargil Imtieez Kacho, and senior officials from the health department.
Despite scorching temperatures, public turnout remained high throughout the two-day event. In addition to consultations and surgeries, the camp ensured round-the-clock ambulance services, complimentary medicines, and specialist counselling sessions, particularly in the field of infertility treatment.
Post-operative visits by JUIAK President Sheikh Nazir Mehdi and the Ulema Council reflected a holistic approach to healing, blending medical and spiritual support. Commendation poured in for the medical teams from both Kashmir and Kargil, whose dedication made advanced healthcare accessible in the remote district.
The Executive Body of AL-REZA HC & RF extended appreciation to all contributors, including healthcare workers, volunteers, and administrative partners from LAHDC and the UT Ladakh Administration, for their role in the smooth execution of the camp.
This latest initiative builds upon AL-REZA HC & RF’s growing portfolio of healthcare outreach. Earlier this month, a 4-day Mega Eye Camp facilitated 66 cataract surgeries free of cost, underscoring the Foundation’s commitment to providing specialized medical care to underserved populations in Ladakh.
