We are immensely grateful to all the doctors from Gauhati Medical College & Hospital and Excel Care Centre for giving their services. Free medicines were distributed to the affected people. The prescribed medicines were distributed to the patients free of cost by a pharmacy team from Excel Centre. Also, crucial health care advise were provided to them by the specialists. Clothes were also distributed to the local population.   

The team was also joined by volunteers from different field who rendered their service. The NGO boys from the Moriyan Social Group organised the event locally and made every effort to manage the event meticulously. We are also thankful to Ward Member Shri Maghram Bordoloi who was present at the camp, assisting the villagers.

Salmara was one of the worst flood affected areas of Assam and the village was inundated till a few days back. The people are still trying to stand up to normalcy as the fury of nature has left them devastate. Many water borne diseases have affected them and they are likely to benefit from the medicines provided at the camp. We indeed feel blessed to be able to contribute our bit in helping the people come in terms with such harsh reality.

Love All; Serve All. Sairam !
