To protect the health of citizens in the flood-ravaged areas of the state, Punjab Health and Family Welfare Minister Dr Balbir Singh issued orders for a massive mobilization of the state’s entire medical fraternity, directing the deployment of all available resources—including government doctors, private volunteers, Ayurveda medical officers, and MBBS interns—to spearhead a ‘Special Health Campaign’ in 2303 flood-affected villages from Sunday. 

The Minister has mandated that Civil Surgeons engage every possible medical professional to man health camps and door-to-door teams, ensuring no village is left without healthcare and preventive care to stave off disease outbreaks in the aftermath of the floods. 

The special campaign is being implemented across all 2303 villages adversely affected by the recent unprecedented floods, with the primary objective of preventing outbreaks of vector-borne, waterborne, and communicable diseases.
