Free health camps held in Shimla villages

In a step aimed at strengthening rural healthcare delivery, the Regional Research Institute for Homoeopathy (RRIH), Shimla, organised free homoeopathic health camps in a village in Sunni tehsil on Tuesday.

The camps were held under the Scheduled Caste Sub Plan (SCSP) programme with the objective of providing accessible, affordable and quality healthcare services to underserved and remote populations. The initiative was conducted under the guidance of Dr Subhash Kaushik, Director General, CCRH, and Dr Renu Mittal, Research Officer (Homoeopathy) and Scientist IV, who is also the nodal officer for the SCSP programme.

A large number of beneficiaries availed themselves of the services during the camps, reflecting growing awareness and acceptance of homoeopathy in rural areas. Free homoeopathic medicine kits were distributed to patients based on individual prescriptions, while comprehensive outpatient consultations were also provided at no cost.
