Srinagar, Jun 13: Paras Health Srinagar, in collaboration with Baqariya Health Care and Research Centre, Kargil, and the Health Wing of IKMT, organised a health camp in Kargil town on Saturday. A statement of Paras Health Srinagar issued here said that the day-long camp, held at Baqariya Health Care and Research Centre, witnessed an overwhelming response from residents of Kargil and adjoining far-flung areas, who availed themselves of free consultations and expert medical advice from a team of specialists from Paras Health Srinagar.

The regulator has also revised prices of anti-tetanus immunoglobulin and three key childhood vaccines to ensure their continued availability. The decision, for which a gazette notification has been issued, was taken at NPPA's 147th meeting on Thursday, where the authority invoked its extraordinary powers under Para 19 of the Drug Price Control Order (DPCO), 2013, to revise prices of formulations considered critical for public health.
