JAMMU: The People’s Hut Foundation (PHF), in collaboration with the Department of Relief and Rehabilitation (M) J&K, successfully hosted a comprehensive "Free Multi-Specialty Medical Camp" today at the Community Hall in Purkhoo Camp, Jammu. The initiative, designed to deliver high-quality healthcare to vulnerable populations, successfully served 396 patients, with a specialized focus on the elderly, women, and children.
According to Mr. Vikas Koul, Advisor to PHF, this medical camp serves as a core component of the foundation's "Mobile Health Clinic Program," a dedicated effort aimed at enhancing healthcare accessibility across Jammu & Kashmir.
The camp was officially inaugurated by Relief and Rehabilitation Commissioner (M), Dr. Arvind Karwani, alongside DC Relief Sh. Vijay Kumar Sharma, eminent social worker and youth leader Sh.

The event was meticulously organized by key PHF members, including Dr. Rohit Koul, Dr. Ritu Koul, Ms. Zoha Barkat, Mr. Vikas Koul, Ms. Lalita Sharma, and dedicated PHF volunteers. During the inauguration, Chief Guest Dr. Karwani urged residents to fully utilize the services, noting that the overwhelming response highlights the critical need to bridge the gap between specialized facilities and the communities that struggle to access them. He also assured continued government support for future initiatives catering to underprivileged sections of society.
Through a powerful collaborative effort, the local population was provided access to a wide array of specialist consultations. Services included internal medicine and general physicians, orthopedics, physiotherapy, dentistry, diagnostic testing, ophthalmology, and the distribution of free Ayush and allopathic medicines.
