A total of 2,82,577 OPDs were recorded; 1,42,788 laboratory ­investigations were conducted; and 3,623 surgeries performed over a week (Mar 17–24) at a health camp at Shivpuri organised by the district, along with Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Swasth Sewa Mission, and the MP government. RC Gwalior led the initiative, and it was supported by RCs Shivpuri, Shivpuri Crest, Guna, Guna Royal and Ashoknagar.

From diagnosis of complex eye-related, dental and orthopaedic ailments, to advanced medical consultations and free high-tech robotic surgeries, the camp provided ­various services to patients, including children, from rural and remote areas.

Union Minister for Communications and Development of NE Region Jyotiraditya Scindia, reacting to this achievement, stated that the record is not just about numbers or scale, but the result of collective effort and service.

High-tech equipment and expert medical teams ensured timely and quality care for every patient, said Rohit Jain, president, RC Gwalior, adding that this initiative particularly benefitted people who usually had to travel to bigger cities for treatment. Access to large scale medical facilities at one location made healthcare more accessible and convenient.
