Idara Falah-I-Aam Holds Free Medical Camp


(MENAFN- Kashmir Observer) Srinagar- A free medical ear check-up camp was organized by Idara Falah-i-Aam Waqf, Alamgari Bazar, in collaboration with the Voluntary Medicare Society. A team of doctors volunteered for the noble cause, and the camp was held at Iqbal Khomeini Hall, Mohalla Syed Afzal Sheerbhat, Srinagar, on Friday.

The camp was inaugurated at 10 a.m. by the Chairman of Idara Falah-i-Aam Waqf, Munshi Abrar Hussain, who was accompanied by the General Secretary, Imdad Saqi, and other dignitaries of the Idara.

A team of volunteer medicos, led by Dr. Umeek Jeelani, examined around 135 patients from various areas of the Valley who availed themselves of the services provided at the camp. Out of the 135 patients examined, 82 were provided with free advanced hearing aid devices on the spot, based on the recommendations of the attending medicos. The camp concluded at 4:30 p.m.

A visitor from District Budgam expressed gratitude to Idara Falah-i-Aam Waqf for organizing the ear check-up camp and appealed to the Chairman to hold similar camps in other far-flung areas so that more underprivileged people can benefit from such medical services.

Farooq Ahmad Dar, another visitor, also appealed to the Chairman to organize an eye check-up camp, particularly for those associated with handicrafts, including Paper Mâché artisans, carpet weavers, chain stitch workers, woodcarvers, and others.
