Udhampur, Sept 30: As part of the nationwide Sewa Parv 2025 campaign, the Udhampur Campus, Garnai Lotta, University of Jammu, in collaboration with the Government Medical College (GMC), Udhampur, organized a free health camp to provide preventive healthcare services and raise awareness about health and well-being among the local community.

A dedicated medical team comprising Dr. Tanveer-ul-Niba, Dr. Aditya Sharma, Sh. Ashwani Kumar (Senior Pharmacist), and Miss Arti Sharma (FMPHW) participated from GMC Udhampur. The camp began with an awareness lecture by Dr. Tanveer-ul-Niba on anaemia and related diseases, particularly in women, covering causes, treatment, preventive measures, and the importance of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. The lecture was followed by comprehensive health screenings, including anaemia check-ups, non-communicable diseases screenings (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, chronic respiratory illnesses), TB tests, and examinations for other communicable diseases. Around 80 participants, including residents of Garnai-Lotta villages, school students, and Udhampur Campus staff, were screened. Notably, several young girls were found to be anaemic, underscoring the urgent need for targeted nutritional and health interventions. Doctors also distributed free medicines, conducted diagnostic tests, and provided personalized diet and lifestyle advice. All participants were formally registered, and their details were uploaded to the GMC Udhampur health portal for record-keeping and follow-up.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Yash Pal Sharma, Rector, Udhampur Campus, thanked GMC Udhampur for their support and described the camp as a meaningful initiative toward community welfare and preventive healthcare. He stressed the importance of nutrition, awareness, and early diagnosis in building a healthier society, expressing hope for more such collaborations in the future under the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.

The camp concluded with interactive sessions, Q&A discussions, and the distribution of health information materials, receiving enthusiastic participation. Coordinated by Dr. Jyoti Sharma with support from campus faculty, the initiative marked a step toward a healthier, informed, and empowered society.
