A daylong free health check-up camp for underprivileged people was organised in Narail Sadar upazila on Friday.

Faraaz Hossain Foundation in collaboration with Sharif Atiar Rahman Smriti Parishad organised the camp at RBFM Bhabanipur Secondary School ground.

Since morning till evening, there were long queues of people at the camp where a team of 21 specialised doctors provided service to around 1,800 people from surrounding villages. 

The services include blood pressure and diabetes check-ups. They were also given medicines free of charge.

The camp was held commemorating Faraaz Ayaaz Hossain.

Faraaz has become an epitome of supreme sacrifice for the cause of humanity. His refusal to leave his friends during the militant attack at Gulshan's Holey Artisan Bakery on July 1, 2016 was not only an act of bravery that the world saluted but also set the burning example of what a pristine youthful mind can do when it comes to choosing the right path at the expense of mere mortality.A discussion was also held as part of the event.

Among others, Narail Deputy Commissioner Sharmin Akter Jahan, Bangladesh Southern University VC Sharif Ashrafuzzaman and former Narail Sadar upazila chairman Sharif Humayun Kabir were present.
