Who should attend?
This camp is open to all members of the community, especially those experiencing symptoms related to the listed conditions or seeking general surgical consultations. Individuals who haven’t undergone recent blood tests or require physiotherapy guidance are also encouraged to participate.
“We have observed that often patients suffering from conditions such as hernia, gall bladder stones and stomach ulcers ignore their conditions until it reaches an emergency stage. This camp is an opportunity for those who have been procrastinating to take corrective action to ensure speedy recovery and relief from symptoms,” said Dr Sarath Kumar V, Consultant general and laparoscopic surgeon, Promed Hospital.”
