In collaboration with Metro Hospital, Dimapur NEICORD organized
free health camp on 20th and 21st Nov 08
for the people in the hill cluster of Borjon area. The Health
Camp was organized for two days. 4 Doctors, 4 Nurses and 1
Pharmacist came for the camp. The people came from 40 different
villages. The people really appreciated the Health camp as many
received treatment which otherwise they would have to cover long
distances (30-50km) to get treatment. The people received
treatment for Malaria, Typhoid, Fever, Cold, Cough, Scabies and
other diseases. Total number of patients that received treatment
in two days was 600.
A communal tension flared up between the Muslims and the
indigenous people of Assam, people killing each other, burning
down houses and granaries.
In the 3rd October 2008, it was learned that more
than 33 people died and 20 villages burnt down and 80,000 people
taking shelter in relief camps as per the Govt. report. NEICORD
in partnership with
Christian Coordination Committee (formed by the Christian
communities regardless of denominations) had done a relief
program and we are very much thankful for their cooperation and
support throughout the relief operation. The relief package
consists of children food and clothing, blanket and shawl for
the victims residing in the temporary camps. A total of 1200
families received the relief package. We are grateful to our
donor Tearfund UK for their support to help meet the immediate
need of the people who are affected. May God bless them richly.
