Indian origin Gastroenterologist holds 3 day free medical camp in Punjab
Ludhiana: In a heartfelt journey back to his roots, Dr Sukhwinder Singh Sandhu, a distinguished specialist in internal medicine and gastroenterology, has returned to Punjab from the United States to conduct free medical camps for underprivileged villagers in Moga district.
“Patient after patient who came and I checked, I was simply heartbroken. From stomach to liver, lungs to heart, they are suffering from different ailments but not getting proper treatment and care," said Sandhu. He told The Indian Express, "I could not come earlier due to Covid but this time I decided that I have to go and hold a camp in Punjab to where I belong,” he said. Kahan Singh Pannu, former IAS officer and chairman of the charitable hospital in Moga where the three-day camp was held, said, “We had announced in all nearby villages that all people who were suffering from any kind of stomach-related issues or others should visit the camp.
We realized that people in villages are just suffering and not getting treatment done. They don’t get themselves checked with a fear that it might be something big and they don’t have money to get it treated. We wanted that Sandhu’s experience and expertise should be used to help the poor. So he checked patients for three days and advised them best possible treatment.”
