Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation (CSMC) organised a free laparoscopic surgery camp at its primary health centre in Cidco N-11 on Thursday. A total of 12 women underwent family planning surgeries during the camp, officials said.
The camp was held as per the directives of Mayor Sameer Rajurkar, Deputy Mayor Rajendra Janjal, and Municipal Commissioner Amol Yedge. The surgeries were carried out under the guidance of medical officer Dr Paras Madlecha.
Civic officials said that such camps have benefited many women in the city. So far, 251 women have undergone laparoscopic surgeries through similar initiatives organised by the corporation.
A team of doctors and staff contributed to the camp. These included Dr Shirsat, Dr Dawande, Dr Narwane, Dr Bajaj, and Dr Kalpana Rathod, along with nursing staff Nanda Jadhav, Kamal Khandagale, Sunanda Sathe, Kalpana Mhaske, and Shubhangi Bhopale.
