Authorities of the District Jail of Rohini have launched a drive on Saturday to get health consultation done, from specialised doctors, for its inmates.
The health camp took place at the jail where over 800 inmates had the opportunity to undergo medical check-up by specialists from Saroj Super Speciality Hospital. The programme is part of the jail administration’s scheme to keep the inmates fit and healthy apart from regular medical consultations being provided in the jail premises.
“Most of the inmates required dermatologist and orthopaedic attention. Everyone is not strong enough to stand loneliness and the tough routine of jail. These things affect one’s metabolism and therefore such health irregularities are expected,” said Rakesh Sharma, superintendent of Delhi Prisons.
