Ten doctors, including Gynecologist, Orthopedic, ENT and General Surgeon, along with the team of 15 interns and 4 nurses form Manipal Medical College, participated in the camp.

The patients from different villages as far as Sarangkot, Dhukur Pokhari, Chapacot and Bhadaure also visited the camp. The Nepal Junior Red Cross Circle distributed free medicine worth US$ 1,000.

Similarly, medicine worth US$ 934 was donated the Manipal Medical College’s Fund for the Poor, which provides free drugs to the needy.
