Faridkot Civil Hospital has started special OPD services every Saturday at NCD Clinic to examine patients, especially those diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes, said Civil Surgeon Chandra Shekhar Kakkar.

The Civil Surgeon said residents were being examined and free medicines were being provided to the patients at the village level. “These services are being provided by the Community Health Officers in the villages. Patients, who are taking medicine from the village health centre, must visit the Civil Hospital to get themselves examined by a specialist doctor,” he added.

Civil Hospital SMO Dr Paramjit Brar said patients suffering from blood pressure and diabetes should follow the doctor's advice.

District Mass Media Officer Kulwant Singh said the Health Department was constantly making the general public aware of the prevention of these diseases.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
