District Health Society Wokha conducted a Reproductive Child Health (RCH) camp on September 6 at Lakhuti Village Community Hall, aimed at delivering essential health services to underserved areas.
Speaking at the programme, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Wokha, Dr. Thungchanbemo Ezung, said the camp was organized to provide quality healthcare in locations where medical officers are not posted and access to treatment remains a challenge. He stated that the camp focused on maternal and child health, along with other general health services.
Dr. Ezung informed that an ultrasound machine was brought for antenatal check-ups and urged beneficiaries to avail the facility. He also acknowledged the support of Lakhuti Village Council chairman Mhonthung Yanthan for mobilizing participants and facilitating the camp.
During the camp, antenatal check-ups were conducted for six pregnant women, general health check-ups for ten lactating mothers, along with General OPD services, eye screening, and AB-PMJAY/CMHIS card generation. Nutritional supplements and free medicines were distributed to beneficiaries.
Information, Education and Communication (IEC) leaflets on immunization, malaria, anaemia, hepatitis, family planning, and rabies were also distributed by ASHA workers.
The medical team comprised gynaecologists, medical officers, DPMU staff, RBSK, MMU, and personnel from Lakhuti PHC. Over 200 beneficiaries availed services during the camp.
