DIMAPUR — Pro Rural, a humanitarian NGO working in different North East states, organised mobile health check-up camps in several villages of Kebai-Khelma region, Ahthibung block in Peren district, from February 4 to the 6th.
The consultant health specialists included a general medicine expert, eye-care optometrist, dental surgeon, and the district MICTC team from the Medical department, working together to provide healthcare access to underserved regions, an update from Pro Rural stated.
The mobile health camps were held at village council halls and sub-centres, and reading glasses were distributed to elderly folks with weak eyesight.
