A free medical camp was inaugurated in Amritsar as part of the ‘Our Seniors Our Pride’ program, aiming to provide health check‑ups for senior citizens.
Amritsar witnessed the opening of a free medical camp on Thursday under the state‑run “Our Seniors Our Pride” scheme. The initiative, aimed at senior citizens, seeks to address age‑related health concerns by offering basic screenings and consultations at no cost.
The camp, set up by the municipal health department, provides services such as blood pressure monitoring, blood sugar testing, vision checks and general physician advice. Mobile units and volunteer staff have been deployed to ensure smooth crowd management and timely assistance.
Organisers said the camp will operate for three days, targeting residents aged 60 and above from nearby neighborhoods. They emphasized that the effort is part of a broader push to improve elderly healthcare access across Punjab.
Local officials invited seniors to register on‑site and encouraged families to accompany them for comprehensive health assessments. The program reflects ongoing government focus on preventive care for an aging population.
