Srinagar: Under Operation Sadhbhavna, a Medical Centre at Demchok village has been upgraded by Army at high altitude in far-flung area of Changthang region.
The Medical Centre did not have basic facilities for specific investigations and diagnosis, thus leading to referral of maximum patients to higher medical centres located far away from Demchok village.
Keeping in view the hardships faced by the community members, Indian Army upgraded the Medical Centre by equipping and providing it with beds including mattresses, examination lamps, tube lights, ECG machine, dressing instruments, Artificial Manual Breathing Unit, Haemoglobin meter, Glucometers, Oxygen concentrator and other medical examination instruments.
The upgraded health care centre will contribute towards improved basic health care facilities of the community members and assist in better diagnosis & management of diseases.
Army’s efforts in co-ordination with the civil administration to upgrade the Medical Centre will go a long way for basic health care of community members.
“The festival deserves to be celebrated with fervour and collective spirit to spread the message of morality, hard work and truthfulness inherent in the preachings of Guru Nanak,” said Mehta in his message here this evening.
