During the visit, Priyadarshini Raje Scindia inspected the registration process at the reception and urged the organisers and medical staff to ensure that every patient receives timely medical attention without any inconvenience.
She interacted with medical staff and patients, especially women, to know their response and information regarding the various medical services available at the camp.
Shivpuri is the family bastion of the Scindia family and the part of Guna Lok Sabha constituency, which is currently being represented by Jyotiraditya Scindia.
Meanwhile, Priyadarshini Raje Scindia also honoured the doctors for their services at the camp and expressed her appreciation for their dedication.
Addressing the gathering, she remarked that such camps not only extend healthcare services to the common people but also reinforce the spirit of service and empathy within society.

Union Minister Scindia also distributed food to the patients and urged the concerned officials to ensure that there were no shortcomings whatsoever in the services provided.
