They were also screened for non-communicable diseases like diabetes, hypertension and obesity.
The workers were also provided with health cards.
The immunisation, the antibody test against COVID-19 was also done simultaneously apart from the aforementioned tests.
The AMC workers will also get free health check-ups, besides soap, sanitisers, masks and other safety gear.
