Doctors from the Dawoodi Bohra community worldwide have arrived in Antsiranana for a medical campaign. The city of Antsiranana is hosting, from July 19 to 25, a major free medical campaign organized by the Dawoodi Bohra community of Madagascar. Open to the entire population, this humanitarian initiative aims to facilitate access to healthcare, strengthen prevention, and improve patient care through consultations, screenings, and surgical interventions.
In a spirit of solidarity and humanitarian commitment, the Bohra community is organizing a vast free surgery operation for the benefit of Antsiranana's populations and surrounding areas. As the community works with hospitals to carry out this campaign, medical services are provided daily in several health facilities in the city, notably at the Tanambao University Hospital Center, the Military Hospital, and the Place Kabary University Hospital Center, where specialized consultations, medical examinations, and free surgical interventions are offered according to patients' needs.
In collaboration with Madagascar's Ministry of Public Health, these missions bring together around thirty specialist doctors from around the world to provide free care to local populations. This is at the initiative of their spiritual leader, Dr Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin.
In the capital of the North, this year's major medical campaign focuses on approximately one hundred consultations and one hundred surgeries. The project aims to help local communities with limited access to specialized healthcare. According to explanations from Prof. Haryoly Nirina Judicael, the main interventions of this medical camp generally include multidisciplinary and multicentric consultations. And thanks to the support of the Bohra community, consultations, treatments, and surgical interventions are entirely free, until patients leave the hospital.
During these days, a medical team composed of surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, and health personnel mobilized for the occasion will welcome patients from different neighborhoods and localities. After medical consultations and preliminary examinations, eligible persons were able to be operated on under conditions meeting medical requirements.
