Rajouri :The Indian Army extended healthcare services to the remote parts of Rajouri district through a mobile medical patrol in the village of Gol. This initiative aimed to address the medical needs of the local population, including the Gujjar and Bakkarwals in the area.
The inhabitants, often cut off from mainstream healthcare facilities due to their isolated geographic location and challenging terrain, benefited immensely from this initiative. It contributed significantly to the overall well-being of the locals, who frequently suffer from disparities in healthcare, leading to higher morbidity and mortality rates. The mobile medical patrol, equipped with essential medical supplies and services, provided compassionate healthcare to local villagers as well as Gujjar and Bakkarwals.
The primary objective was to offer on-the-spot medical care and check-ups, including basic health evaluations, treatment of common ailments, and distribution of necessary medicines. The team also emphasized preventive healthcare by offering immunizations and sharing information about hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention.
The response from the local population was overwhelmingly positive, with residents expressing deep gratitude for the Army’s efforts to bring much-needed medical services directly to their doorsteps. Beyond the immediate medical benefits, the mobile medical patrol played a crucial role in building and strengthening the relationship between the Indian Army and the local communities. A total of 21 villagers (9 males, 10 females, and 2 children) benefited from the services provided by the mobile medical patrol.
