OUR CORRESPONDENT

ITANAGAR: The Tomo Riba Institute of Health & Medical Sciences (TRIHMS) at Naharlagun near here, has planned an outreach programme to justify its motto 'affordable, accessible, accountable, reachable and assured' services by reaching the unreached, institute Director Dr Moji Jini said here on Friday.

A 35-member team comprising 22 doctors including specialists, would begin its maiden week-long programme to Upper Siang district and conduct health camps at Mosing, Tuting and Yingkiyong, located along Indo-China border.

The patients would be diagnosed, given medicines on the spot and if needed referred to TRIHHS for further treatment, Dr Jini said.

"The event will give first hand experiences to TRIHMS faculty members and students about life of people living in far-flung and remote areas of this hilly State and problems faced by them in availing health services, by reaching their door steps," Dr Jini said.

He said this would be a motivation for the 'Team TRIHMS' to serve the needy and poor people of the State with dedication.

"Dr Jini-led Team TRIHMS deserves applause for conceiving the idea of outreach programme to conduct health camps, as the State government has attached top priority to the health sector," said Health and Family Welfare Minister Alo Libang.
