Guest guest Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Sai camp provides free care22-Aug-2009 11:25 AMMORE than five hundred people of Nadi took advantage of a free medical camp set up by medical professionals associated with the Satya Sai Organization in Australia . Team leader Doctor Gunu Naker who is a general practitioner based in Australia is in the country with a team of more than twenty highly trained specialists and general practitioner doctors. Doctor Naker told Fiji Daily Post that the medical camp trip to Fiji which started last year is getting popular every year. “Last year we were able to see over three thousand patients,†Doctor Naker said. He said all medical services including specialist diagnosis given to patients were absolutely free. “The Satya Sai Organization is not a religious but a spiritual organization and service to mankind is an absolute priority,†Doctor Naker said. He said the medical wing of the SSO in Australia has a team of thirty medical professionals and there is a sister team based in New Zealand as well. “Our Kiwi counterparts have been coming over here for the past four years now and they mostly concentrate in Vanua Levu but they have spent two days in Viti Levu during their last visit as well,†Doctor Naker said. He said the free medical camp this year had taken place following a medical conference which was held at Dr. Umanand Prasad Medical School based at the University of Fiji . “We were very fortunate to have had the company of the Honourable Minister for Health Dr. Neel Sharma in the conference as well.†He said the medical conference was well attended by the medical fraternity and is gaining momentum each year. “The conference and free medical camp will now be an ongoing thing because it was very important to have a good medical facility so that everyone benefits in the end.†“Students from the school have been joining us as well ever since we started last year and it is nice to have them amongst us as they get to learn a lot from their experiences,†Doctor Naker said. He also thanked the management and staff of Andrews Primary School for providing the venue for yesterday’s medical camp.By SHALENDRA PRASAD sourced: http://fijidailypost.com/news.php?section=1 & fijidailynews=24633 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
