ITANAGAR: Mago, a remote village often referred to as the first village of India due to its proximity to the border, recently celebrated a significant healthcare milestone.
A team of doctors from Gajraj Corps conducted a comprehensive medical and eye camp, delivering essential healthcare services to the local population.
Nestled in the rugged terrains of the Northeast, Mago is known for its challenging access routes and limited healthcare infrastructure.
The effort to bring medical aid to this secluded area underscores the commitment and dedication of the medical team, who arrived well-equipped and prepared.
The doctors highlighted the importance of reaching out to remote communities, stating, “Our mission is to ensure that no individual is left behind when it comes to healthcare. We aim to bring quality medical services to the doorstep of those who need it the most, regardless of their location.”
During the camp, 94 patients were screened for various ailments.
The team provided medical consultations, conducted diagnostic tests, and distributed necessary medications.
The primary focus was on ocular health issues, which are prevalent in remote areas due to a lack of regular medical attention and harsh environmental conditions.
Out of the 94 patients screened, 11 were diagnosed with cataracts, a common yet debilitating eye condition.
These patients have been scheduled for cataract surgery, which will significantly improve their quality of life.
The surgeries are planned to be conducted in phases, ensuring that each patient receives optimal care and post-operative support.
The doctors also highlighted the collaborative efforts required for such initiatives, acknowledging the support from local authorities and volunteers.
“The success of this camp is a result of teamwork and the collective will to make a difference. We are grateful for the local support that made this possible,” they said.
The medical and eye camp in Mago is part of a broader initiative aimed at enhancing healthcare access in remote and underserved regions of the country.
The team from Gajraj Corps plans to conduct similar camps in other isolated villages, continuing their mission to bridge the healthcare gap.
This initiative not only addresses immediate health concerns but also raises awareness about the importance of regular medical check-ups and the availability of treatment options.
