Health Camps:
The health statistics of people of Tripura and the Tripuri people in particular are very poor. The Tripuris who live in the interior, remote and hilly area of the state are the victims of poor health infrastructure of Tripura state. There are very few health institutions to provide emergency health services to these villages’ folks. If emergency arise they all have to depend on the Ochai, who is also a priest for health care and immediate helps. This led to development of superstitions among the Tripuri people in relation to diseases and ailments. In the mid night, when a baby become rest less for abdomen pain or the pregnant women cries for labour pain, or a snake bitten groans of pains, it is this Ochai who help in the most difficult and helpless time.

In many of the dispensary there is hardly any doctor posted, so these village folks had to travel far and wide to reach to any dignified health institution. Over and above in such institution the cost of treatment is very expensive, some time they had to sell out their domestic animals like cows, ox, mortgage land or some times even sell out their cultivable land to save lives of family members from serious diseases.

To give a glass of water to the thirsty person is a life saving, similarly to give some medicine to a patient suffering from agony is a charity. Tripur Kshatriya Samaj organized series of health camps to give health care to the most underprivileged section of the society. Qualified doctors attended and treated patients in these health camps and distributed medicine free of costs. Large numbers of patients attended the health camps and took the benefit of free health check ups and medicine.
