Objectives
- To provide emergency and primary health care, guidance & counseling, free medical checkup, free medicines, and advice.
Context

Practice
The HCC of the University provides free health checkups and medicines to everyone in the nearby community and even visitors also. Whenever any emergency arises or any unfortunate accident happens, the students get urgent treatment as the University is located away from the city area. Blood donation camps as well as vaccination camps are regularly arranged. During the pandemic situation of COVID-19, University ran the HCC and offered one hostel to work as a COVID center.
