World Health Day is celebrated worldwide on 7th April.
Justice K.S.Hegde Charitable Hospital decided to observe WHD on April 25th and 26th through Free health camp and Educational activities for students and public. The theme of World Health Day for the current year 2014 is VECTOR BORNE DISEASES.
The protective and preventive measures for diseases spread through Vectors (eg.Malaria, Dengue fever, Chikungunya) were highlighted through various activities organised by Service desk and Patient care cell of the Hospital & Community medicine department of KSHEMA. A colourful display demonstrating the WHD theme “A SMALL BITE BIG THREAT” drew a huge number of visitors including students and public. Free Health check up was conducted in hospital by the Department of Medicine which was ably supported by the laboratory services.
The students of Community Medicine department presented a skit to promote awareness of environment protection and the preventive measures to be taken. The same theme was reinforced through Video presentation in OPD. The skit brought out the importance of use of mosquito net and clean surroundings. The program concluded with the quiz by the students where the public actively participated.
