Shahpur / Gaggal: Taking quality healthcare straight to rural doorsteps, City Care Hospital, Gaggal—a premier facility managed by Om Medicenter Private Limited—organized a comprehensive free medical check-up and medicine distribution camp at the Panchayat office in village Manjhgram, near Shahpur.
The community outreach initiative witnessed an overwhelming response, drawing more than 100 villagers from Manjhgram and adjoining hamlets. Elderly citizens and women turned out in large numbers, eager to access specialist medical consultations that are often difficult to reach in remote foothill pockets.
A dedicated team of senior doctors, including a Medicine Specialist and a Gynaecologist, conducted thorough clinical assessments throughout the day. From general health screenings, vitals monitoring, and geriatric care to targeted consultations on women’s health and maternal well-being, the specialists provided personalized care along with free distribution of essential pharmaceutical supplies.
Highlighting the vision behind the initiative, Pankaj Rana, Marketing Head of City Care Hospital, emphasized that geographical boundaries should never limit healthcare access.
“The core mission of our medical institute is to bridge the urban-rural healthcare divide by extending top-tier clinical facilities to far-flung, underserved communities across Kangra valley,” Rana said.
Om Medicenter Private Limited has rapidly emerged as a trusted hospital network, actively running multi-specialty healthcare facilities across several northern states. The Gaggal facility marks an important milestone in bringing high-end diagnostic and surgical excellence to Himachal Pradesh.
Reaffirming the group’s long-term commitment, Dr. Rishab Dadhich, Unit Head at City Care Hospital, stated that modern medical standards are set to become readily accessible in the region. “Living in hilly terrain often poses severe logistical hurdles during medical emergencies. In the coming days, residents of this belt will no longer need to travel to distant metropolitan centers; City Care Hospital is committed to delivering world-class tertiary healthcare right here in Kangra,” Dr. Dadhich noted.
The village Panchayat and local residents expressed deep gratitude to the hospital administration, welcoming the camp as a vital public health lifeline.
