KATHUA: Deputy Commissioner Kathua Rajesh Sharma today chaired a meeting to review arrangements and logistics for the upcoming Mega Health Camps being organised jointly by Rotary Club International and the District Administration Kathua in different medical blocks of the district in the last week of October 2025.

These camps will be held at Basohli, Bani and Kathua where surgical procedures will be conducted on the identified patients. The meeting was attended by representatives of Rotary Club International, ADCs, Sub Divisional Magistrates, Chief Medical Officer   Dr. Vijay Raina and Block Medical Officers. The meeting held a detailed discussion to ensure smooth and successful conduct of the health camps.

The Mega Health Camps aim to extend free medical services, including surgeries, to the needy and marginalized sections of society, especially those residing in remote and far-flung areas of the district. The Deputy Commissioner directed the Health Department to give wide publicity to the initiative and prepare a database of beneficiaries who could avail the facilities during the camps. He further instructed the CMO and BMOs to identify patients requiring surgical intervention and ensure their participation in the programme.

It was informed that Rotary Club International has earlier conducted similar Mega Health Camps in various districts, benefitting thousands of people through quality medical services and specialized surgeries. During the upcoming camps, teams of renowned doctors and specialists from across the country will perform surgeries and provide specialised healthcare services to alleviate the sufferings of patients.

The District Administration in collaboration with Rotary Club International and the Health Department will extend full logistical support and facilitate necessary arrangements for the conduct of these camps at Basohli, Bani and Kathua.
