2-Day Awareness Programme on Women’s Health conducted on the occasion of International Women’s Day
GSBS Medical Trust makes it a point to celebrate all important days. 8th March being International Women’s Day, the Trustees decided to have an educative programme for all the female employees of all the Trust’s Centres. All of them could not be accommodated on one day due to patient flow. So, it was decided to have programmes on the 7th and the 8th of March.
Dr.Prasad Kasbekar, our consultant oncologist conducted the Cancer Awareness talk on the 7th of March by giving details of the four types of cancers generally affecting ladies viz. Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Ovarian Cancer and Oral cancer. He talked about symptoms, causes and most important – the precautions to be taken. There was a lot of discussion on the subject and Dr. Kasbekar patiently answered all questions by the ladies. It was a much needed educative session and Dr. Kasbekar was profusely thanked for offering his time.
On the 8th of March, Dr.Deepali Prabhat, our consultant gynaecologist spoke on the subject ‘Life Style“. Nature has abundant food for all. Consuming fresh vegetable and fruits are the answers to a healthy lifestyle. Processed food is the main cause of all illnesses. Good diet with nutritious food and good exercise will always keep one healthy. Eating all kinds of tablets means you are putting too many chemicals in the body which again leads to a bad lifestyle.
Everybody enjoyed the lecture. Thanks for suggesting a NEW lifestyle and adding light on this important aspect.
Smt. Gita R. Pai introduced both the speakers, and welcomed all. She proposed a hearty vote of thanks for the speakers for their excellent talks.
Greetings were exchanged for Women’s Day.
