In continuation of its efforts to contribute towards the welfare of the people of Balochistan, the Pakistan Navy (PN) organised a three-day free medical camp in Jiwani for the aid of the local populace. The doctors at the camp treated more than 7,000 people suffering from various ailments.
To provide skilled medical treatment and advice to patients, gynaecologist, surgical, eye and child specialists were positioned at the camp. The specialists also conducted minor surgeries, along with provision of free medicines. A laboratory was also set up for blood, ultrasound and x-ray tests.
The medical camp was also aimed at educating the locals on prevention measures, child healthcare and sanitation. Deteriorating maternal health and nutritional deficiencies were other areas focused upon.
