On request from the Indo-Tibetan Friendship Association, Men-Tsee-Khang administration deputed Dr. Tsering Tsomo, a resident doctor of Mcleod branch clinic, for a one-day free medical camp at Bajarai village (Pre Panchait Rait) on the 7th of September.

The medical doctor was assisted by Mrs. Passang Bhuti and Ms. Norbu Dolma. The team gave medical consultations to nearly 400 patients. In the appreciation letter written by the Indo-Tibetan Friendship Association, the organiser of this camp, mentioned that the heads of the village expressed their appreciation and happiness over such a noble act. The organiser, refering to the turn out of patients writes that it “was a successful” one.

This was the second such free medical camp held in association with the organiser. Earlier in connection with the world health day, a free medical camp was organised on the 7th of April at Dharamkot, Dharamsala.

One of the members of the Indo-Tibetan Friendship Association believed that this free medical camp will further strengthen and cement better understanding and relationships between Tibetans and the local Indians in the region. During the opening remarks to the visitors who thronged the campsite, he reiterated better cooperation to make peaceful coexistance amongst the people of the two races.

The chief guest of the first medical camp inauguration was the Liaison Officer for the Ministery of External Affairs, Government of India, who also urged the same cooperation from both ends. The medical camp was headed by Dr. Dekyi Tsomo of the Gangkyi clinic. She gave free medical consultation and medication to nearly 40 patients.
