According to Dr. Santosh Dev, chief of the Sankhuwasabha District Hospital, along with Sankhuwasabha, patients from the northern region of Bhojpur have also availed services in the camp. 'Especially the elderly, women and children from remote settlements got the opportunity to meet specialists nearby,' he said, 'Many patients with addiction and mental problems, skin diseases, nose, ear, and throat diseases availed services.' He said that regular such programs will have a long-term positive impact on public health.
