They were supported by staff nurses Sukhjeet Kaur, Lakhwinder Kaur, and Gurpreet Singh, along with pharmacists Pardeep Kumar and Manmohan Singh.
Punjab Health Minister Dr. Balbir Singh personally supervised the camp, encouraged the medical staff, and reiterated that the government’s priority was to stand with every flood-hit family and ensure no one was left without treatment.
Local residents expressed gratitude for the timely medical help, while the Health Department assured that similar camps would continue in other affected villages of Ferozepur and adjoining districts.
