Jammu, 28 April: Emphasizing upon the vulnerability being faced by border residents in terms of access and awareness towards their health care, Dr. Sushil and his team conducted a day long health camp in Bhojpur village of R.S. Pura Tehsil. The camp was organised on the special occasion of conclusion of weeklong Shri Ram Katha by Swami Umeshanand Ji Maharaj.

He exhorted to adopt an interdisciplinary and multisectoral approach to mitigate various physical and psychological adverse health effects being faced by border residents with special emphasis on strengthening the healthcare structures in such areas and to evaluate the trend of migration from such areas owing to health reasons. He further highlighted the need to institutionalise various spiritual practices in the current health framework for proper management and prevention of diseases among such vulnerable groups.
