KNE;Kalimpong, February 03:
Believing ‘service is the greatest religion’, the Cluny Sisters since 8 years have been conducting health check-up camps in remote areas of Kalimpong. Under the same, the Sisters organized a similar camp at the premises of St Joseph Convent School today, during which the renowned doctors of Siliguri and Kalimpong areas checked around 250 people.
The doctors were Dr AB Bose, Dr S Shah (Surgeon), Dr B Sharma (Orthopedic), Dr Siddhi Sharma (Neuro), Dr Sona Bhutia (Ophthalmologist) and Dr Matthew Rezish and his wife (Dentists) .
People from remote places like Suruk, Tangyang, Nimbong, Gitabling, Mariah Busty, Gorubathan, 6 Mile, 7 Mile, 8 Mile, etc came at large for the check-up.
There are many remote areas in Kalimpong where people have not in their entire life visited a doctor, said Sister Rachael Chettri and added for health to flourish the environment should first be peaceful.
The medical expenses of the people who are diagnosed with multiple health issues will be borne by the Cluny Sisters.
Earlier, the camp started with a prayer service. Sisters of 4 convents along with Sisters of St Joseph and St Philomena were also present during the camp.
