Announcing the large-scale free health camp, Myanglung Municipality Mayor Sanjay Tumbahamphe said, "Specialist doctors from Nepal will conduct health examinations for patients, provide medical advice, and distribute medicines free of cost. Local municipal chiefs will arrange transportation for patients to and from Myanglung, while Sarokar Samaj will manage the travel of doctors and health workers from Kathmandu to Myanglung."
Similarly, the Nepal Medical Association (NAM) will provide health check-ups and free medicines, while Myanglung Municipality will arrange food and accommodation, the mayor informed. During this two-day health camp, specialist doctors from BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences (Dharan), Bharatpur Cancer Hospital (Chitwan), and TU Teaching Hospital (Kathmandu) among others will conduct health examinations and provide possible treatments.
