27 December, Amrit Nagar: 996 people suffering from Mental Retardation, Mental Illness and Epilepsy had a chance to get proper medical treatment and medicines in the health camp organized by NBJK with support of RINPAS, Kanke (Ranchi).

There were 54 new patients also who couldn’t contact any psychiatrist earlier for their treatment. All these patients have come from Hazaribag, Koderma, Chatra, Giridih, Dhanbad, Bokaro districts and belong to far-flung villages where superstition and faith healing still prevail commonly. The medical team of RINPAS (Ranchi Institute of Neuro Psychiatry & Allied Sciences) has arrived at NBJK premises in the morning and devoted a full day for such patients.
