Kargil, Oct 01: Continuing its efforts to provide essential healthcare facilities to remote border regions, the Indian Army organised a medical camp in Moradbagh and nearby villages of Mushkoh Valley under the banner of Operation Sadbhavana. The initiative was aimed at addressing the healthcare needs of local residents, with a special focus on the well-being of women and children.
The camp witnessed an overwhelming response from the local population, with more than 150 patients availing medical consultation and treatment. Among them, 120 female patients received special attention, underscoring the Army’s emphasis on women’s health and maternal care in these difficult-to-reach areas.
A team of Army doctors, paramedical staff and support personnel conducted the camp, providing free medical check-ups, distribution of essential medicines and health awareness sessions. Special emphasis was placed on preventive healthcare, nutrition awareness and early detection of common ailments.
Local residents expressed gratitude towards the Army for bringing healthcare services to their doorsteps, given the geographical challenges and limited access to hospitals in the valley. Village elders appreciated the compassionate approach of the medical team and highlighted that such initiatives significantly improve trust and cooperation between the armed forces and the civilian population.
Operation Sadbhavana, launched to foster goodwill and development in border areas, continues to remain a key pillar of the Indian Army’s outreach efforts. By organising regular medical camps, infrastructure support and educational initiatives, the Army reaffirms its commitment to the holistic welfare of people residing in remote regions like Mushkoh Valley.
