300+ Residents Receive Medical Care During International Women’s Day Health Mission in Zogam

Cikha, Zogam — March 8, 2026

More than 300 residents from Cikha and nearby villages received free medical services during a community health outreach held on International Women’s Day, organized by the Zomi Political Coordination Council (ZPCC) through its Department of Women Affairs, Zogam Administration (ZVC), and ZRAEC.

The health mission was hosted at the Zomi Community Center of Zogam Administration (ZVC Office) and implemented in partnership with the Zogam Administration (ZVC), Defense, Women’s wing, with support from members of the community and local volunteers.

The initiative brought together volunteer medical professionals who provided free consultations and treatment in a range of fields, including general medicine, internal medicine, gynecology, psychiatry, and dental care.

Residents from several surrounding villages traveled to the venue to receive care, highlighting the continuing need for accessible healthcare services in rural communities across Zogam.

Addressing Women’s and Family Health

Organizers said the outreach was intentionally held on International Women’s Day to emphasize the importance of women’s health, maternal care, and family wellbeing.

Medical professionals provided consultations on:

  • Women’s reproductive and maternal health
  • Child health and nutrition
  • Mental health counseling and psychological support
  • Preventive healthcare practices
  • Dental and oral health

The event also included basic health screening, patient registration, and distribution of medicines, with volunteers assisting in coordinating the large number of participants.

Community Cooperation

The outreach was made possible through collaboration between community organizations, healthcare volunteers, and residents.

Community members assisted in organizing patient registration, guiding participants through consultation stations, and helping ensure that residents from nearby villages were able to access services throughout the day.

Participants expressed appreciation for the initiative, noting that such programs provide vital support in areas where specialized healthcare services are limited.

Promoting Human Dignity and Community Well-Being

Organizers noted that the outreach reflects the broader vision of the Zogam Charter, which promotes human dignity, equality, and the welfare of communities across Zogam.

By bringing healthcare services directly to rural communities, the program aims to strengthen the well-being of families while supporting broader efforts to improve social and humanitarian conditions in the region.

Plans for Expanded Outreach

Organizers indicated that similar community health missions are expected to continue in other parts of Zogam, with a focus on:

  • Maternal and child healthcare
  • Mental health awareness
  • Preventive health education
  • Outreach to remote and underserved villages

Such initiatives aim to improve access to healthcare while supporting the long-term resilience and well-being of communities throughout the region.
