Guwahati: Acclaimed medicine specialist Dr Brajen Lahkar will conduct
the next weekly evening OPD clinic at Guwahati Press Club (GPC) on
October 21. The practicing doctor from the State’s well-known
healthcare institution Dispur Hospital will be available for free
consultations to the participants from 4 to 6 pm at the press club
premises.
The last Saturday camp, organized under the ‘Evening with a Doctor’
program for the benefit of press club members along with their
dependants, was graced by Dr Siben Dutta and Dr Santos Reddy from the
city based Down Town Hospital.
Launched in August 2016 with initial supports from Dr Jayanta
Bardoloi, managing director of Dispur Hospital in raising a doctor’s
chamber at the press club premises, the series of camps have emerged
as a ‘healthy & rewarding hangout’ for the media persons. Many working
journalists with high blood pressure & sugar were diagnosed in the
camps and they were advised for follow up actions accordingly.
Till date, practicing physicians from Apollo Chennai Hospital, SIMS
Hospital Chennai, Manipal Bangalore Hospital, Fortis Hospital
Bangalore, Medanta the Medicity Hospital, GNRC Hospitals, Hayat
Hospital, Ayursundra Hospital, Nemcare Hospital, Sun Valley Hospital,
Sight First Eye-Clinic, Barthakur Clinic, Wintrobe Hospital etc have
attended the camps.
Even though the camps are primarily organised for the benefit of press
club members with their close relatives, any journalist of the region
(also the country) with their family members may take the advantage of
the clinics, said a statement from the pioneer press club of northeast
India adding that similar initiatives are also encouraged in other
parts of the region.
