In addition to clinical services, free essential medicines were distributed to the beneficiaries as per departmental norms.
Special awareness sessions were also conducted focusing on Rashtriya Kishore Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK), Menstrual Hygiene Scheme (MHS), adolescent health, balanced nutrition, anaemia prevention, and personal hygiene, aiming to empower adolescent girls with knowledge and healthy practices.
The camp was personally visited and supervised by Dr. Shakeel Ahmed Kichloo, Block Medical Officer, Thathri, along with Sh.
