Pallel: Assam Rifles, in close coordination with EPIC Multispeciality Hospital, Ahmedabad, organised a Mega Multi-Speciality Medical Camp at Pallel, Kakching District, Manipur, on 22 August 2026. The joint humanitarian initiative aimed at providing essential, high-quality healthcare services and specialist consultations directly to the local civilian population and residents of adjoining areas in their vicinity, eliminating the need to travel to distant medical facilities.
A visiting team of experienced medical consultants across Cardiology, General Medicine, Paediatrics, Gynaecology & Obstetrics and Ophthalmology examined patients, provided expert diagnoses, and rendered comprehensive health management guidance. The medical drive successfully benefited a total of 775 civilians, comprising 250 men, 375 women and 150 children. Alongside direct clinical assessments, the medical professionals counselled beneficiaries on preventive healthcare measures, early disease detection, healthy lifestyle practices and necessary follow-up care. Cases requiring advanced diagnostic investigations, specialised treatment or surgical interventions were systematically evaluated and referred for appropriate higher-level management.
The outreach initiative was warmly received by the local community, who expressed deep appreciation towards Assam Rifles and EPIC Multispeciality Hospital for extending benevolent, specialised healthcare support to remote border areas. By uniting multiple clinical disciplines at a single venue, the camp successfully enhanced local healthcare accessibility, reinforced awareness on preventive wellness, and further strengthened the enduring bond between the security forces and the civilian populace.
