CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: A two-day de-addiction medical and awareness camp was successfully organised at Pandit Khushilal Sharma Government Ayurveda College and Hospital, Bhopal, to mark Prohibition Week.
About 90 patients were provided special medical care and necessary counselling related to de-addiction at the camp.
Before the camp, students of the college carried out a door-to-door public awareness campaign in nearby areas and settlements, including Nehru Nagar, Rahul Nagar, Panchsheel Nagar, Shabri Nagar and Sarvadharm Colony, to spread information about the camp and reach as many people as possible.
During the camp, experts informed patients about the harmful effects of substance abuse, the serious physical and mental health problems caused by addiction, and various effective medical methods for quitting addiction. Patients who visited the OPD were examined and provided Ayurveda-based treatment, counselling and rehabilitation-related care as required.
At the closing of the programme, a special public awareness session was held under the coordination and guidance of Dr. Urmila Shukla, head of the Agad Tantra Department. In this session, Dr. Bhushan Singh delivered a substantive and motivating awareness lecture on de-addiction and public awareness.
Undergraduate and postgraduate scholars of the college participated enthusiastically in the lecture. Through the session, students were given detailed information on the growing tendency of addiction in society, its long-term consequences, the important role of Ayurvedic and medical counselling in de-addiction, and ways to spread anti-addiction awareness for building a healthy society.
Dr. Sharad Rathi, Dr. Anshu Malviya, Dr. Sunita Rajput and Dr. Purnima Mansuriya played key roles in the successful conduct of the programme.
