NMO to focus on health services in North East
The National Medicos Organisation (NMO) will focus on involving more and more doctors and medical students in its massive free medical service being taken up in the North East States, according to RSS national joint secretary Dr Krishna Gopal.
Tirupati: The National Medicos Organisation (NMO) will focus on involving more and more doctors and medical students in its massive free medical service being taken up in the North East States, according to RSS national joint secretary Dr Krishna Gopal.
Speaking to The Hans India on the sidelines of NMO 37th annual conference which concluded here on Sunday, Krishna Gopal said that efforts are on to enlist more doctors and undergraduates for taking up free health services to the people living in the interior hilly and inaccessible areas of the North East States.
Gopal, who is one of the members of the Core Committee spearheading NMO free health services in the North East States, Jammu and Kashmir, said that the NMO has decided to take the number of volunteers to 300, including doctors, undergraduates against the present 160 involved in the free medical service campaign entitled as `Danvantri Uttar Purvi Seva Yatra (DUPSY). Besides, enhancing the medical service by including diagnostic facilities also wherever feasible, he said.
Gopal said that the DUPSY free medical service was started 12 years ago with nine doctors, as part of the RSS and NMO ambitious exercise of strengthening the bondage between the people of North East and the rest of the country to reinforce the national unity and integrity as well as to inculcate service motive among the budding doctors. And now, 1,000 doctors are rendering service, he pointed out.
“Due to various reasons there is sense of alienation among the people of North East which we are earnestly striving to remove by reaching out to them through the service programme”, he said.
Now, this year in the DUPSY campaign held in February more than 150 doctors and medicos from 10 States, who enrolled as volunteers, provided free medical service in the select remote districts of Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya and Tripura.
“In the next yatra we are planning to involve 300 doctors and medicos to take up at least one medical camp in all the districts in the seven States,” he averred.
