Chamba, September 19

A programme to mark ‘Seva Saptah’ was held at the Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru Government Medical College and Hospital, Chamba, on Sunday. Principal Dr Ramesh Bharti presided over the event.

Dr Bharti urged the college and the hospital staff to take a pledge to serve the senior citizens on priority. Covid-19 pandemic had impacted their life severely, so the elderly needed physical, mental and emotional care, said Dr Bharti.

To appreciate the contribution of senior seniors to the society and provide support to them, the government is observing week-long ‘Seva Saptah’ from September 17 to 23.

Dr Bharti said the faculty, doctors, nurses, lab technicians and other staff should not make senior citizens visiting the hospital stand in queue.
