Shruti Puri
Shahpur / Gaggal: In an effort to enhance healthcare accessibility in rural areas, City Care Hospital in Gaggal, operated by Om Medicenter Private Limited, hosted a free medical check-up and medicine distribution event at the Panchayat office in Manjhgram, close to Shahpur.
This community initiative attracted a significant turnout, with over 100 villagers from Manjhgram and nearby areas participating. Many elderly individuals and women attended, seeking specialist medical advice that is typically hard to obtain in remote locations.
A skilled team of senior medical professionals, including a specialist in medicine and a gynecologist, provided comprehensive clinical evaluations throughout the day. They offered general health screenings, monitored vital signs, and focused on geriatric care, along with specialized consultations for women's health and maternal care, all while distributing essential medications for free.
Pankaj Rana, the Marketing Head of City Care Hospital, shared the vision behind this initiative, stating that healthcare access should not be hindered by geographical barriers.
Rana remarked, "Our primary goal is to eliminate the healthcare gap between urban and rural areas by providing high-quality medical services to remote and underserved communities in the Kangra valley."
Om Medicenter Private Limited has quickly established itself as a reliable healthcare network, operating multi-specialty hospitals across various northern states. The Gaggal facility represents a significant step in delivering advanced diagnostic and surgical services to Himachal Pradesh.
Dr. Rishab Dadhich, the Unit Head at City Care Hospital, reaffirmed the organization's commitment to making modern medical care accessible in the region. He stated, "Living in hilly areas often presents serious logistical challenges during medical emergencies. Soon, residents will no longer have to travel to far-off cities for healthcare; City Care Hospital is dedicated to providing world-class tertiary medical services right here in Kangra."
Local residents and the village Panchayat expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the hospital administration, viewing the camp as a crucial public health resource.
