The Indian Navy successfully concluded the five-day Joint Services Multi-Speciality Medical Camp across the Lakshadweep Islands on 16 Jan 2026. Conducted at\u00a0Kavaratti, Agatti, Amini, Androth, and Minicoy islands, the camp reaffirmed the Armed Forces\u2019 commitment to delivering quality healthcare and preventive services to remote island communities through seamless inter-services cooperation. The camp was inaugurated on 12 Jan 2026 (https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressReleseDetail.aspx?PRID=2214127<\/a>) and was strongly supported by the civil administration and healthcare echelons of the Union Territory of Lakshadweep.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The camp witnessed an overwhelming response,\u00a04,719 patients\u00a0availed specialist and super-specialist consultations. For the first time in Lakshadweep, a medical camp of this scale offered an expanded range of specialists and super-specialists, significantly improving access to advanced healthcare. The team included experts in Neurology, Cardiology, Nephrology, Endocrinology and Gastroenterology, supported by specialists from Medicine, Surgery, ENT, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Dental Surgery, Radiology and Community Medicine.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Rapid deployment of medical teams and equipment, along with the establishment of fully functional medical facilities on each island, underscored the high level of coordination and jointness among the three Services. Planned airlift and sea lift of personnel and sensitive medical equipment demonstrated effective inter-services synergy.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Comprehensive medical and surgical services were delivered across all islands. A total of\u00a051 general surgical procedures\u00a0were performed, reducing the need for referrals to mainland hospitals. In ophthalmology,\u00a071 cataract surgeries\u00a0were conducted, restoring vision for numerous elderly patients. Advanced diagnostics included over\u00a050 endoscopic procedures,\u00a0more than 50 echocardiographic examinations, and multiple treadmill tests for cardiac evaluation. Radiology services recorded over\u00a0250 ultrasound examinations, while more than\u00a0100 dental procedures\u00a0and\u00a0over\u00a030 minor dermatological procedures\u00a0were carried out.\u00a0All services and medicines were provided free of cost.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As a lasting contribution, the Indian Navy\u00a0donated two ECG machines\u00a0to healthcare facilities at Agatti and Amini. Extensive Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities were also conducted, covering preventive health, healthy lifestyle practices, cancer awareness, mental wellness and Basic Life Support (BLS) training.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Widely appreciated by the people of Lakshadweep and the Union Territory administration, the Joint Services Multi-Speciality Medical Camp stood out for its scale, professionalism and tangible impact. By delivering advanced medical care and strengthening preventive health awareness through a unified tri-services effort, the Indian Armed Forces once again reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of citizens in remote regions of the nation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
