Indian Army organises medical camp for ex-servicemen at Rupai
The Indian Army’s Red Shield Division under the Spear Corps organised a medical camp for ex-servicemen and their dependents at Rupai on June 20.
The initiative was aimed at extending healthcare support to the veteran community and reaffirming the Indian Army’s commitment towards the welfare and well-being of ex-servicemen and their families.
The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from approximately 150 ex-servicemen, Veer Naris and their dependents. A dedicated medical team conducted comprehensive health check-ups, medical consultations, blood pressure and blood sugar screening, and dental inspections and provided specialist medical advice.
Psychological guidance and counselling sessions were also conducted to promote mental well-being and emotional resilience. Essential medicines were distributed free of cost, and beneficiaries were also educated on preventive healthcare measures and healthy lifestyle practices.
A SPARSH Grievance Cell was also established during the event to assist veterans with pension-related issues, documentation, digital registration and other pension-related matters.
Individual grievances were addressed through one-on-one interactions, ensuring timely guidance and effective resolution of concerns. Veer Naris attending the camp were also felicitated as a mark of respect and gratitude for their sacrifice and contribution to the nation.
The initiative provided a valuable platform for interaction between the Indian Army and the veteran fraternity, strengthening mutual trust and cooperation.
The participants expressed their appreciation for the efforts undertaken in bringing essential healthcare and administrative services closer to the veteran community.
