The Jagannath University Central Students’ Union (JAKSU) organized a daylong free medical camp on the university campus on Sunday, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event offered 11 types of health services, including 10 free medical tests, and saw a heavy turnout of students throughout the day. The initiative was supported by the National Doctors Forum (NDF) Dhaka City South branch, aiming to provide quality healthcare and medical advice to students at no cost.

According to JAKSU General Secretary Abdul Alim Arif, this was the first large-scale free medical camp in the university’s history, designed to bring quality healthcare directly to students. Health and Environment Secretary Nur Mohammad said more than 30 experienced doctors provided free consultations and tests, making it one of the largest medical camps among public universities. Students expressed appreciation for the initiative, noting its importance for those facing financial constraints.

The camp included tests such as Hb%, RBS, HbA1c, TSH, Vitamin D, CRP, Troponin-I, Urine Strip Test, ECG, and USG, along with physiotherapy services. Organizers said the program effectively ensured access to essential healthcare for students.
