Patna: A free hearing impairment screening camp was held in Patna on Monday, offering crucial audiological support to underprivileged residents. Organized by Public Awareness for Healthful Approach to Living (PAHAL) at Nema Place, Exhibition Road, the initiative marked the 26th death anniversary of the late Ladli Sharan.
Seventy-five patients underwent free screening using an audiometer, of whom 17 were identified with hearing impairments.
