USTM Outreach: PIMC Conducts Free Health Camp at Amphanggre Village
9th Mile, Khanapara, Ri Bhoi, December 18, 2024: In the spirit of Christmas, a team from PA Sangma International Medical College and Hospital (PIMC), USTM, organized a free health camp today at Amphanggre Village, located in 12 Mile, Byrnihat. The initiative witnessed active participation from doctors across various specialties, nurses, and other healthcare personnel, reflecting USTM’s commitment to community well-being.
Doctors specializing in Medicine, Gynaecology, ENT, and Dermatology provided consultations to over a hundred villagers along with free medicines during the camp. Key medical professionals included Dr. Quaiser Jawed (Medicine), Dr. Dubori Deka (Gynaecology), Dr. Nancy Brahma (ENT), and Dr. Aslam Ali (Dermatology). The team was further supported by junior residents, nurses, pharmacists, medical social workers, and ward assistants from PIMC, along with officials from USTM.
Concurrently, a team from the USTM Public Relations Office visited Amphanggre Village for an interactive session with Mr. S.D. Marak, the Head of the Village Dorbar, and other community members. The discussions shed light on the village’s socio-educational landscape. Amphanggre comprises 75 households with a population of nearly 600. The community manages a single school, catering to about 40 students from pre-nursery to Class 3.
Mr. SD Marak shared the community’s aspiration for government and non-governmental support to enhance the school’s infrastructure and provide better opportunities for the children mostly belonging to very poor families. The combined efforts of PIMC and USTM reflect their ongoing dedication to holistic community development, addressing not only health concerns but also fostering dialogue for sustainable growth in underserved regions.
