INITIAL START OF SERVICES
MEDICAL FACILITIES
To achieve its motives the first medical camp was held at Village Ghanour District Patiala and was inaugurated by Sh. Tejinder Pal Singh Sandhu, a well known Socio – Political figure of the area. About 700 patients were examined by six doctors and medicines were given free of cost. The camp was lead by Dr. K.N. Mishra, Ex – Director Ayurvedic Medical College and his team. The doctors also kept a follow up of the patients examined in the camp and free medicine & check up was provided to them regularly by the Society. Two members from Kailash Goyal Foundation USA Mr.Sandeep Aggarwal and Mrs. Ruby G. Aggarwal also participated in the camp and supervised the work.
J.K Shanti Charitable Society in association with The Kailash Goyal Foundation was running a weekly medical check-up clinic from a rented place at Village Mubarakpur near Dera Bassi since May 2010, where approximately 300 plus patients were examined every week. Free medicine and lab tests facilities were provided to all the patients, with the help of three qualified doctors and para-medical staff. Apart from this, regular medical check-up were held for various ailments like eye diseases, skin diseases, orthopedic problems, etc. Dr. Ram Kumar, retired SMO Dera Bassi, has been providing free guidance and medical check-up for the society. By the end of year 2011, seeing the successful operation of the regular medical check-up and camps, a need was felt for having our own clinic.
The project got kick started, when Mr. Sanju Bansal donated the land for the clinic in memory of his late father Mr. Ved Prakash Bansal of Nabha. Then with the help of The Kailash Goyal Foundation and donors of J.K. Shanti Charitable Society, the dream became a reality and the new clinic has been dedicated to the society on 4th May 2013. The clinic was inaugurated by Mr. N.K. Sharma, MLA and Chief Parliament Secretary Punjab along with many dignitaries.
The Society now runs this clinic Six days a week(Tuesday to Sunday) and also have in-house lab tests. A Dental Chair has also been installed to provide ragular Dental Checkup to the patients. Additionally Lab tests, ECG, Eye examination, optician and orthopedic services are on a regular basis.
