Angarakshak is an initiative by GSBS Medical Trust, aimed at offering an extremely professional tobacco cessation programme (with a dedicated team of physicians, oral surgeons, psychiatrists and counsellors) at minimum costs.
To register yourself or someone else in this de-addiction programme, please contact our Health Rakshak centre at +91-7715026134.
Over the years, apart from conducting tobacco cessation programmes which have been beneficial to several citizens, Angarakshak has conducted many tobacco awareness / addiction prevention programmes in various schools & colleges because addiction starts at a young age and, as Dr. Chhavi Korrane mentions in the video above, those who start at a young age get more severely addicted in the long run, as compared to those who start tobacco consumption in adulthood.
Angarakshak has also conducted these awareness camps at other places such as Matunga Police Station and BEST (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport).
The aim has always been to make people aware not just of the harmful effects of tobacco, but also that there is hope of recovery and that they are not alone in this.
And finally, we want to make it possible for every citizen to become de-addicted from the use of tobacco.
Choose Life, Not Tobacco
Help us help YOU, because TOGETHER, we CAN!! 🙌🏼👊🏼
