🇮🇳 Heroes First: Army’s Healing Mission at Shahjahanpur! 🩺 When the nation calls, soldiers answer. When veterans need care, the Army stands first. 💪 A Multispeciality ECHS Medical Camp organised by MH Bareilly at Shahjahanpur brought healthcare directly to those who once guarded the nation’s borders. In collaboration with Varun Arjun Medical College, specialists from Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Eye and ENT provided dedicated check-ups and consultations. 👨‍⚕️ 150+ Ex-Servicemen and their families received medical care, support and reassurance — proving once again that the bond with soldiers doesn’t end after service. This wasn’t just a medical camp. It was respect in action, gratitude in service, and care for those who served India with pride. 🇮🇳 Because a nation that honours its veterans stands stronger. 🇮🇳 वीरों के लिए सेवा: शाहजहाँपुर में सेना का हेल्थ मिशन! 🩺 जो सैनिक देश की रक्षा करते हैं, उनकी सेवा करना राष्ट्र का कर्तव्य है। 💪 MH Bareilly के सेक्शन हॉस्पिटल द्वारा 05 अप्रैल 2026 को शाहजहाँपुर में ECHS मल्टीस्पेशलिटी मेडिकल कैंप आयोजित किया गया, जहाँ देश की सेवा कर चुके पूर्व सैनिकों और उनके परिवारों को समर्पित स्वास्थ्य सेवाएँ प्रदान की गईं। Varun Arjun Medical College के सहयोग से मेडिसिन, सर्जरी, स्त्री-रोग, नेत्र और ENT विशेषज्ञों ने जांच और परामर्श दिया। 👨‍⚕️ 150 से अधिक पूर्व सैनिकों और उनके परिवारों को लाभ मिला — यह साबित करते हुए कि फौज अपने वीरों को कभी नहीं भूलती। यह सिर्फ मेडिकल कैंप नहीं था… यह था सम्मान, कृतज्ञता और सैनिकों के प्रति राष्ट्र का आभार। 🇮🇳 क्योंकि जो देश अपने वीरों का सम्मान करता है, वही सच्चे अर्थों में मजबूत होता है। #IndianArmy #ECHS #VeteransCare #शाहजहाँपुर #पूर्वसैनिक #सेनासम्मान #FaujKiShaan #NationFirst #ExServicemen 🇮🇳 @adgpi @panchshulpulse @PRODefDehradun @suryacommand @IbexRadioTarana @radioibextarana @voiceofspiti @PoohCrs8913 @ProDefLko @SpokespersonMoD @DefMinIndia
