Lucknow is set to host a major free health fair for two days this December, organised as a tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his birth centenary year. The Atal Health Fair-6 will be held at the Mini Stadium in Vikas Nagar on December 20 and 21, providing a wide array of medical services to residents at no cost.
A Tribute to a Bharat Ratna
The health camp is being conducted as a mark of respect for the late Bharat Ratna awardee Atal Bihari Vajpayee. According to the event's convener and senior BJP leader, Dr. Neeraj Singh, this is the sixth consecutive year the fair is being organised. He stated that the initiative draws inspiration from Defence Minister and Lucknow MP, Rajnath Singh.
Comprehensive Medical Services On Offer
The fair aims to bridge the healthcare accessibility gap by bringing together medical professionals from government facilities and over 100 private hospitals. These doctors will provide complimentary consultations, diagnostic tests, and health screenings.
Special focus has been placed on vulnerable groups. Separate arrangements have been made for women and children to ensure their specific health needs are addressed comfortably. Furthermore, persons with disabilities will receive thorough medical examinations, necessary certificates, and free distribution of essential aids. This includes:
- Tricycles
- Artificial limbs
- Various other assistive devices
Ensuring Wide Reach Through Registration Camps
To ensure maximum participation and identify beneficiaries effectively, the organisers are conducting registration camps across various assembly constituencies in the area. This proactive approach is designed to streamline the process and help those in need avail the services smoothly during the two-day event.
The Atal Health Fair-6 stands as a significant community service initiative, translating the values of service associated with Atal Bihari Vajpayee into direct public welfare action. It promises to offer substantial medical relief and support to thousands of Lucknow's residents during its run.
