Online Desk: A medical camp will be held on Sunday to provide treatment and medicine at free of cost to nearly 1000 distress rural people marking the first death anniversary of Md Anwar Hossain, former managing director of Khulna Newsprint Mills.

More than twenty specialist physicians from Dhaka will contribute the medical camp to be held at Purba Darillah village under Nandail Upazila in Mymensigh from 10am to 4 pm, a press release on Saturday.

Doctors from the discipline of medicine, cardiology, nephrology, ENT, orthopedics, gynecology, surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology and pediatrics will volunteer the medical camp, said Assistant professor of Dhaka Medical Collage and Hospital (DMCH) Dr ASM Tanim Anwar, the younger son of late Hossain.

A milad Mahfil will also be held after the Asr Prayer at late Hossain’s ancestors’ residence at the village.

The elder son of late Hossain, Md Tanzim Anwar, hoped that the free medical camp would support the cold-hit distress rural people, especially the elderly and children.
