General surgery outreach programme

Dr Dilip Kothari, surgical gastroenterologist & laparoscopic surgeon, conducted a screening programme at village Ahore in district Jalore on March 19. Village Ahore falls in a less developed tribal belt as a result of which most of its residents are economically underprivileged. Dr Kothari screened 60 patients of whom 10 were referred to Global Hospital, Mount Abu for surgery. Twenty five more patients were referred to the base hospital for further diagnostic tests.
