Kupwara, May 09 (PTK): A free cancer detection and medical camp was organised at Galzoo Ground in Kupwara by Quality Healthcare Hospital Drugmullah in collaboration with the Indian Army and the civil administration for the welfare of patients.

The camp focused on screening and diagnosis of cancer patients by a specialised team of oncologists led by Ashok Kumar. Organisers said the initiative provided patients with expert consultation, precise diagnosis and medical guidance.

More than 50 cancer patients attended the camp among over 400 beneficiaries who availed medical services from doctors representing multiple specialities including gastroenterology, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, paediatrics, general medicine, audiometry and gynaecology.
