The medical camp was inaugurated by Jahangir Waheed - Vice President Manufacturing (EPCL) along with local community leaders. Apart from conducting free medical checkup free ultrasound facility was also provided to the community patients. Medical team also guided them about best practices to improve mother and child health and to prevent several diseases.
