Free Medical Camps in Kingston on Sunday, December 19

Corporate area residents benefit from three free medical camps on Sunday, December 19, 2021. The camps ran from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Chandolu Global Healthcare (11 Eastwood Park Road; the Good Samaritan Inn, 2 to 4 Geffrard Place; and the Constant Spring Library, 5 Cassava Piece Road.)

The health camps were being organized by the High Commission of India in Jamaica in association with the Indian community doctors and the Good Samaritan Inn. Pharmaceutical companies including Indies Pharma, MSN, INDUS Pharma, and Glenmark, are supporting the events through the donation of medicines. Mayor of Kingston, Senator Councilor, Delroy Williams, and the Adventist Laymen’s Services and Industries have also provided their support to the medical camps.

A release from the High Commission said that the camps are being held in recognition of the 75th year of Indian Independence.“The medical camps will be run by Indian community doctors and will provide free medical consultation, health check-ups, basic tests, and free medication and other services such as blood pressure and diabetes checks,” the release said.

The camps adhered to the coronavirus (COVID-19) safety guidelines and protocols implemented by the Government. In January of this year, the High Commission conducted 13 medical camps across the island, where 1500 Jamaicans benefitted from free medical checkups and medicines.
