More than 6,500 people in Assam’s Dhubri district received medical and health-related administrative services through a mega outreach programme organised by the District Health Society under the Sewa Sankalp Abhijan.
The programme reached 6,584 patients through health camps held across block locations, municipal areas, Gram Panchayat offices and remote riverine villages, bringing specialist consultations closer to communities with limited access to healthcare facilities.
Eight specialist doctors were deployed for the initiative, offering consultations through General OPD and Eye OPD services.
Alongside medical consultations, residents were able to access essential administrative services at the camps, including registration and application facilities for birth and death certificates and disability certificates.
The outreach covered the Agomoni Block Office Campus, Birsing Gram Panchayat Office Campus, Kumarganj Gram Panchayat Office, Bilasipara SIRD Training Centre and Municipal Board, Nashkara-Jamadarhat areas, Athani Block Office and localities in Sapotgram town.
The District Health Society said the programme was aimed particularly at improving access to specialist healthcare for people living in rural pockets and remote riverine areas.
Moyezuddin Ahmed, District Media Expert of Dhubri Health Society, said the initiative sought to address gaps in healthcare access while bringing essential administrative services closer to residents.
“Our primary focus under the Sewa Sankalp Abhijan has been to bridge the healthcare gap in remote riverine villages and rural pockets. By pairing specialist consultations with essential administrative services like disability and birth registrations, we are delivering holistic healthcare directly to the people’s doorsteps,” Ahmed said.
The initiative formed part of the District Health Society’s efforts to expand access to specialised medical care and essential health services across underserved areas of Dhubri district.
