The All India Unani Tibbi Congress (AIUTC) organised its 160th free Unani medical camp at Khyaala in West Delhi, where more than 500 patients were examined and provided free Unani medicines as required. The camp was part of the organisation’s continuing initiative to extend accessible and quality healthcare services to people, particularly those from economically weaker sections.
The camp brought together experienced Unani physicians who examined patients, listened to their health concerns and provided medical consultation and treatment. Medicines were also distributed free of cost to patients according to their medical requirements.
Addressing the camp, Dr Syed Ahmed Khan, General Secretary of the All India Unani Tibbi Congress, said reaching healthcare services to every section of society was an important social responsibility. He said the organisation had been using free medical camps as a means of taking Unani healthcare services directly to communities.
Dr Khan said the completion of 160 free medical camps reflected the continued efforts of Unani physicians, medical personnel and volunteers associated with the organisation. He thanked all those who contributed their time and services to the initiative.
He said the AIUTC’s role was not confined to providing treatment but also included creating awareness about healthcare and encouraging people to pay greater attention to their health. Free medical camps, he added, provide an opportunity for people who may not be able to afford private healthcare to receive medical consultation and medicines.
During the Khyaala camp, doctors conducted consultations and examinations for patients with different health complaints. Patients were given medical advice and, wherever necessary, free Unani medicines.
The organisers said the participation of more than 500 patients demonstrated the importance of community-based healthcare initiatives. Such camps also provide people with an opportunity to consult qualified physicians and receive treatment without the financial burden of medical expenses.
Dr Khan reiterated the organisation’s commitment to continuing its public service initiatives through free medical camps in different parts of the country. He said the AIUTC would continue working to take healthcare services to people who need them and promote greater awareness about the Unani system of medicine.
The organisers expressed their gratitude to the doctors, medical staff, volunteers and other supporters whose efforts contributed to the successful organisation of the 160th camp and said the initiative would continue in the future.
