During the program, the CTVS and Cardiology teams presented two theatrical performances highlighting the harmful effects of drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and other substances. These plays conveyed the symptoms of heart disease and promoted the adoption of better health care practices. Additionally, a poster competition was organized to raise awareness about heart health, where participants creatively emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy heart. The winners of the competition were also awarded.
On this occasion, Prof. Singh congratulated all participants and remarked, “Awareness about heart health should be a lifelong commitment. As a healthcare institution, it is our responsibility to continually spread this message and ensure that our society is prepared and aware of how to tackle heart diseases.”
