Uttar Pradesh Govt To Set Up Medical Camps For Special Children-Education News

The Uttar Pradesh government is planning to organise medical assessment camps for differently abled children in secondary schools to provide them easier access to medical tests, advice and disability certificates.

The camps will conduct medical check-ups and assess disabilities to issue appropriate certificates. Instructions have been issued by the state project director to district basic education officers for the camps. Each district will determine the venue and dates by June 30, with the aim of completing the camp by August 30, said a government spokesman. State project director Vijay Kiran Anand said that an orthopaedic surgeon, an ENT surgeon, an eye specialist and a psychologist/psychiatrist would be included in the team of doctors for the camp.
