Chakar (Jagraon): When medical services burdened with pandemic, Nris here has established a health center so that villagers do not need to travel to other areas to get care and medicines.

Our village is a symbol of growth carried out by the NRIS who has developed a lake, waiting room, NRI Guest House-cum-Panchayat Ghar and installed CCTVs.
The NRI Committee Vikas gets money from them for the development of the village.
It is very good that the NRIS has come up with a health center where villagers can obtain care and medicines, “Panch Gurmail Singh said.
Dr.
Roop Dass Bring, the doctor who works in the middle, also appreciates the NRIS for the job.

We also have trained pharmacists and health workers.
We treat patients for fever, cough, cold, joint pain, abdominal pain, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes And liver disease.
A village resident must get a card for Rs 50 and his entire family can get treatment for a year.
The patients were given drugs with subsidized tariffs, “Dr.
Bring, who retired as a Senior Medical Officer (SMO).
“The case of the OPD was attended here and severe cases called a sophisticated health center nearby.
We plan to regulate the Laboratory and X-ray machine too.
We get a salary to work here.
This village has health sub-centers, but run by A pharmacist even though there is a doctor’s office there, “he added.
The daily center gets 20-25 patients, including those from neighboring villages such as Lakha and Rama, said Dr.
Bring, which, after completing MD in medicine, working at a government hospital in Hathur for 10 years, so he has developed a bond with people – Chakkar.
The staff said the center had appeared in a renovated public facility.
The patient said the health center was a gift for the village.
“We thank Nri to provide health facilities,” said 76-year-old Gurdev Singh, who had come to the treatment center of the stomach-related problem.

This is a good movement by NRI and must be replicated in more villages,” said the former SMO Dr.
Rajinder Gulati.
