Patna: The Patna Municipal Corporation has completed a series of health camps organised for sanitation workers and their families across the city. The campaign, which began on January 27, continued for nearly one and a half months and covered every ward and zone under the civic body. Officials said the aim was to make basic healthcare services easily available to workers who often struggle to visit hospitals because of long working hours.
The final camp was held at Maurya Mandapam in Patna, where employees from the corporation headquarters, sanitation workers and other staff members underwent health checkups. Free medicines were distributed, and doctors provided consultations to those who required further attention. The civic body said the programme was part of its commitment to the wellbeing of frontline workers who play a key role in maintaining cleanliness in the city.
During the campaign, camps were organised not only at central venues but also at sanitation workers’ workplaces and in their respective wards. This approach ensured that maximum numbers of workers and their family members could benefit without facing travel or time-related difficulties.
At each camp, essential health tests such as blood pressure checks, random blood sugar tests and eye examinations were conducted. Medical advice was given on the spot, and medicines were provided free of cost. Officials said thousands of sanitation workers and their families took part in the initiative, allowing early detection of potential health problems and encouraging regular health monitoring.
