Speaking at the conclusion of a daylong camp organized by the Trust in association with Jammu Kashmir Gau Raksha Samiti in the premises of Gaushalla Jammu, Rana called for massive outreach of health services across the Union Territory with the aim to ensure health for all and to generate awareness about various diseases.
He said the effort will go a long way in reaching out to the people virtually at their door-steps. General awareness and regular check-up can help fight various maladies and ensure a disease-free society. He said the people, especially old, women and children need constant check-ups and monitoring. He hoped such philanthropic organizations would come forward in a big way and help in making the mission of health for all a huge success.
Lauding the selfless role of Dr Sushil Sharma for remaining at the forefront in such efforts, Devender Rana said the ailing people see a hope in him because of his compassion, care and expertise. He described Dr Sushil Sharma as an valuable asset of the society.
Dr. Sushil Sharma appreciated the efforts of Shri Mal Mata Sukrala Devi Dharmik Trust and Jammu Kashmir Gau Raksha Samiti for holding this medical camp for the welfare of needy people. He said the religious organizations are filling the much needed gap by improving the relationship between religion and health, focusing especially on prioritizing health needs of the common populace. He stated that religious organizations can serve as key implementation sites for health promotion and disease prevention to reach the marginalized population.

He assured that such camps would be organized on a regular basis with an aim to serve the society.

He said such camps help people to identify deficiencies so that they can have specialized treatment in the health institutions on a regular basis.
