In observance of National Doctors Day, the Assam Rifles organized a specialized medical camp dedicated to anaemia screening in Serchhip, Mizoram, on July 1, 2024. The camp focused on addressing critical women’s health issues by screening women and children aged nine years and above for anaemia, a prevalent health concern that significantly impacts women and children in the region.
The initiative aimed to raise awareness about the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of anaemia, which can lead to severe health problems if left unchecked. The camp provided free health check-ups and guidance on proper nutrition, which is essential for preventing and managing anaemia.
The event highlighted the Assam Rifles’ commitment to community welfare and their role in enhancing public health alongside their security duties. The medical camp not only served the immediate health needs of the community but also commemorated National Doctors Day by emphasizing the critical role doctors play in society, especially in remote areas like Mizoram.
By focusing on such significant health issues and providing necessary medical services directly to underserved populations, the Assam Rifiles demonstrated their dedication to the health and well-being of the communities they serve. This medical camp is one of many efforts by the Assam Rifles to engage positively with local communities and contribute to their betterment.
