The Indian Navy is set to launch a five-day multi-specialty medical camp in Lakshadweep from January 12 to 16. The camp, inaugurated by Chief of the Naval Staff Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi, aims to provide comprehensive medical care to island residents through specialist consultations, treatments, and select surgeries. This initiative is part of the Navy's sustained efforts to support and supplement Lakshadweep's existing healthcare infrastructure. Lakshadweep has an established government healthcare system, but the camp will provide access to specialist and super-specialist medical expertise in a coordinated manner. The joint services medical team, comprising doctors from the Indian Army, Navy, and Indian Air Force, will offer consultations in basic and super-specialties, including cardiology and gastroenterology. In addition to outpatient services, cataract surgeries and general surgical procedures will be performed. Preventive healthcare and health awareness will also be a key component of the outreach, with doctors engaging community members on lifestyle-related diseases and general wellness. The camp is expected to benefit a large number of residents while strengthening goodwill with the people of Lakshadweep. The Indian Navy's commitment to humanitarian assistance, community welfare, and service to the nation is reflected in this initiative, which is part of its Navy Day outreach activities.
