Beneficiaries will undergo laparoscopic surgery, which is simply an advanced surgery through a small incision in the abdomen with a tube inserted where images of the woman’s reproductive organs are projected onto a screen highlighting the specific target area.

This procedure is available only in major and referral hospitals and is conducted on women with complications in the reproductive organs, general surgery, Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) and knee surgeries, according to the Lead surgeon at the camp Dr Yamal Patel.
