TUTING : The Indian Army’s Spearhead Gunners on Wednesday conducted the maiden Integrated Welfare (IW) health outreach programme at Singa village under the banner “Seema Arogya Abhiyan – Healing at the Last Mile.”

The initiative aimed at extending essential healthcare services and medical awareness to one of the remotest frontier regions of Arunachal Pradesh, where basic medical and civic facilities remain limited beyond Tuting.

As part of the humanitarian outreach, the Indian Army organised a medical camp for the tribal communities of Upper Siang district, reaffirming its commitment towards the welfare of residents living in isolated border areas.

During the camp, 45 villagers were screened and provided medical treatment by the Army Medical Officer. The programme also focused on creating awareness on basic healthcare, hygiene, and preventive medical practices.

Villagers expressed gratitude to the Indian Army for organising the outreach programme, describing it as a vital support system in a region where access to healthcare facilities remains extremely scarce.

The initiative also helped strengthen the bond between the Indian Army and local communities residing in far-flung border villages.
