A heart checkup camp was organised by the Integrated Test Range (ITR) in association with the Hyderabad-based Continental Institute of Cardiovascular Sciences here on Sunday.
Specialist doctors Bharat V Purohit and Asif Pasha and their team besides checking the patients also advised them.
“The objective is to give free medical checkup facilities to our men as well as civilians. The patients requiring treatment can further avail treatment in the centres of their choices. This time while the camp was for cardiology, in the coming days, we are trying to bring other specialists of nephrology and gynecology by organising similar camps,” said ITR Director Binay Das.
Das further said, “We are also in touch with the AIIMS, Bhubaneswar and other reputed institutions of India to hold similar camps, with the sole aim to provide best healthcare facilities. Even we have a proposal in pipeline to have full-fledged hi-tech hospital of DRDO here having a tie-up with a reputed hospital.”
In the camp, about 100 patients availed the checkup facilities, said ITR sources. Senior scientists including Associate Directors MV Bhaskaracharee and CR Ojha were present,
