Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Pranab Barua said, “Peerless Hospital Guwahati is committed to bridging healthcare gaps in Assam and the Northeast. Such camps help us reach out directly to the community, raise awareness about early diagnosis, and ensure people have access to specialist care without barriers of cost or distance.”

Initiatives like this not only provide immediate medical aid but also inspire a culture of regular health check-ups, which is crucial for early detection and treatment. The ISBT is an ideal location for such a camp, as thousands of people pass through it every day, many of whom may have undiagnosed health issues that this free camp can help identify.”
