Anantnag, Dec 11: Moul Mouj Foundation, in collaboration with Chinar International and GK Labs, organised a free medical and awareness camp for senior citizens at Sub-Centre Shekhpora, Shangus, a remote area in Anantnag. A total of 162 senior citizens received free consultations, investigations, treatment optimisation and medicines.

The camp highlighted a worrying trend: 79 seniors were hypertensive, and nearly 75% had uncontrolled blood pressure. The primary reasons were erratic treatment, missed doses and taking medicines only when experiencing headache or vertigo. Comprehensive awareness was provided, emphasising that blood pressure medication must be taken regularly, as uncontrolled hypertension can lead to heart disease, stroke, eye complications and other serious health issues.
