As per the request of the citizens of Mokokchung district, the Mokokchung Town Lanur Telongjem (MTLT) and DAYO coordinated and brought the second batch of essential life-saving medicines to the needy people in Mokokchung district.
“All the medicines were procured as per doctor’s prescription and with due approval from the state government. The life-saving drugs were mostly for serious health patients like heart patients, diabetic patients, kidney and other ailments,” MTLT officials stated in a press release.
The DAYO team was led by its representative L Moamanen Imchen and also Esa Telongjem, Chümoukedima representative Imtikumba. The DAYO team brought the medicines for the patients in Mokokchung and Mangkolemba sub-division.
