Kishtwar, Sep 02 (KNO): PARAS Health Srinagar will organise a two-day free multispeciality health camp in Kishtwar on September 5 and 6, offering specialist consultations in cardiology, urology, orthopaedics and gastroenterology, along with free ECG, blood sugar and BP tests.
In a statement issued to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), a spokesperson said PARAS Health Srinagar is set to organise the Free Mega Multispeciality Health Camp in Kishtwar in association with Tariq Memorial Trust.
He said the two-day outreach camp is part of PARAS Health Srinagar’s wider healthcare outreach programme aimed at bringing specialist medical consultations closer to people, particularly communities that may face challenges in accessing advanced healthcare services.
The spokesperson said residents of Kishtwar and adjoining areas will have access to consultations from specialists in cardiology, urology, orthopaedics and gastroenterology. The specialist panel will include Dr Mohsin Raj Manto, Cardiologist; Dr Younis Mushtaq, Urologist; Dr Yawar Hyder, Orthopaedic Specialist; and Dr Wajeed Yousuf, Gastroenterologist.
He said the camp will also provide free ECG, Random Blood Sugar (RBS) testing and Blood Pressure monitoring, besides complimentary specialist consultations.
“Healthcare should not be defined by geography. Our outreach initiatives are aimed at taking specialist expertise closer to communities and ensuring that people have access to timely medical advice and screening,” Facility Director Dr Murtuza Habib said.
He said the initiative also seeks to promote preventive healthcare and early detection, encouraging people to seek medical advice before symptoms develop into more serious health conditions.
“Kishtwar has a strong need for accessible specialist healthcare. Through such camps, we want to bridge the distance between patients and specialised medical expertise while creating greater awareness about timely diagnosis and treatment,” he said.
PARAS Health Srinagar said its outreach programme will continue to focus on extending healthcare services to different parts of Jammu and Kashmir through multispeciality camps and community-based initiatives. “Our objective is simple, to make quality, affordable and accessible healthcare reach people where they live. These camps are an important part of that commitment,” it said.
The camp will be held on September 5 and 6 in Kishtwar in association with Tariq Memorial Trust. Free services will include specialist consultations, ECG, Random Blood Sugar (RBS) testing and Blood Pressure monitoring.
