March 3rd was World Hearing / ENT Day. GSBS Medical Trust takes pleasure in celebrating all these special days so that patients get awareness about their health requirement in this particular field. On the 3rd of March, GSBS Medical Trust organised an ENT camp at its Health Rakshak Centre. 30 patients registered for this camp. Dr. Ashwinikumar S Gaikwad (ENT Specialist) and Dr. Nirbhay Singh Walia (Audiologist) were the examining doctors.

An awareness lecture to educate, as to how important is the health of EAR , Nose & Throat, Dr. Ashwinikumar S Gaikwad in simple words explained how the Hearing problem can create so many problems in the life of a person. Such a person becomes socially isolated, he develops psychiatric issues, depression and the quality of life becomes bad. If hearing deficiency is detected at the early stage, correction with an aid becomes much easier. If the hearing nerve loses its full capacity, then even the hearing aid cannot work.

Further, he also explained that the ear generally does the natural cleaning. But if any cleaning is required, then self-cleaning by inserting some sharp instrument may harm the inner part of the ear.

Smt. Gita Pai (Trustee & Secretary) thanked Dr. Ashwinikumar S Gaikwad and Dr. Nirbhay Singh Walia and the entire staff for the good organisation of the event. A few questions were entertained, as there was limited time.

On the whole, the program was insightful.

Special thanks were given to Sri Dayanant Anant Kamath for sponsoring this program in the
memory of his mother Late Meera Anant Kamath.
