Rajouri, September 24, 2025 – The Jammu and Kashmir Health Department, in collaboration with the Rajouri District Administration, orchestrated a series of specialist medical camps across all six blocks of Rajouri—Darhal, Manjakote, Rajouri, Sunderbani, Thanamandi, and Kotranka—as part of the #SevaParv2025 initiative, themed “Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar” (Healthy Women, Empowered Families). Held on September 23, these camps drew widespread community participation, with over 1,200 residents, predominantly women and children, accessing critical healthcare services aimed at preventive care, early disease detection, and holistic wellness in this border district.Launched under the nationwide #SevaParv2025 campaign to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, the initiative reflects a commitment to bridging healthcare gaps in rural and semi-urban areas. The camps, supervised by Deputy Commissioner Rajesh Baloria and Chief Medical Officer Dr. Abdul Majid, offered a spectrum of specialized services, reinforcing the mission to empower women and strengthen families through accessible, high-quality medical care in Rajouri’s challenging terrain.
Key Highlights of the Medical Camps
- Comprehensive Health Services: The camps provided free ante-natal care (ANC) check-ups, screenings for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes and hypertension, and early-detection tests for cervical and breast cancer, delivered by teams of gynecologists, oncologists, and general physicians.
- Immunization and Awareness: Routine vaccinations for children and adults were administered, complemented by workshops on nutrition, hygiene, and family planning. Mental health counseling addressed issues like stress and postpartum depression, with referrals for advanced care where needed.
- Robust Community Engagement: ASHA workers, Anganwadi staff, and local volunteers ensured strong turnout from remote villages, with free distribution of nutritional supplements, sanitary kits, and medicines enhancing the camps’ impact. Community-led discussions on women’s health further fostered empowerment.
Deputy Commissioner Rajesh Baloria, who inspected several camp sites, hailed the initiative’s success: “Under #SevaParv2025, these camps are transforming Rajouri’s healthcare landscape, ensuring every woman and family has access to quality care. The overwhelming participation signals trust and hope.” He directed officials to plan follow-up camps to maintain continuity of services.
