RAMBAN, AUGUST 05: In continued efforts to reach the unreached in the far-flung and unconnected areas of District Ramban, a mega health camp was organized today by the Block Medical Officer Banihal at Panchayat Ghar Upper Mahoo under the Aspirational Block Programme Khari.
A dedicated team of doctors and paramedical staff examined and treated approximately 203 patients on the spot, distributing free medicines to all.
