Medical camp for sanitary workers held

Nearly 1,000 permanent sanitary workers were today examined at a specially organised medical camp organised by the City Corporation in association with a group of hospitals, supported by CII and Young Indians.
The camp was a part of an initiative taken by Corporation Commissioner, Dr Vijay Karthikeyan to keep the 2,740 permanent sanitary workers fit, as they were involved many risky jobs.
Specialists in skin, eye, heart, liver, kidney and general medicine examined nearly 1,000 workers, Karthikeyan said.
The results of blood samples taken a week ago were also handed over to the workers and medicines if needed will be supplied by the hospitals, he said in a release.
