Guwahati: Amid violence in Manipur, the Rural Women Upliftment Society conducted a two-day free medical checkup camp in Churachandpur, providing crucial healthcare services to over 226 displaced residents who are currently staying in different camps.
The camp was organized with the support of ActionAid, a non-governmental organization committed to empowering communities during crisis.
Mary Beth Sanate, Secretary of the Rural Women Upliftment Society said, “Our hearts go out to those affected by the violence, and we recognized the urgency for medical support among the displaced population. These people have faced unimaginable hardships, and access to medical facilities is limited for them. With this camp, we aimed to bring much-needed medical attention and care directly to those in need.”
Four medicine doctors, a gynecologist, and two pediatric doctors provided consultations and care to address the various health concerns faced by the displaced individuals.
The medical team efficiently attended to 132 patients for general medical issues, offered specialized gynecological services to 37 women, and provided care to 57 children, ensuring their well-being during this difficult period.
Earlier this month, the Rural Women Upliftment Society held consultations for 825 patients. This highlighted the growing demand for medical support within the displaced population.
The organization, along with the support of ActionAid, ADRA and For One Life, said that it remains steadfast in their commitment to empowering and providing essential assistance to those affected by the ethnic violence in Manipur.
