Dear friends/editors, Here is a statement for your kind information. Regards, Nava Thakuria GNRC Heath-Camp at Guwahati Press Club Guwahati: The city based GNRC Hospitals in association with Guwahati Press Club has organized a Free Screening Camp for Detection and Prevention of Stroke on October 29, 2011 at the press club campus. The health camp that is open for all media persons will start at 10 am and culminate at 2 pm. “One in every six person will suffer from Stroke in his or her lifetime. That is a certainty. This means every family has the risk of having a Stroke incident in this world. But, it is also a fact that people are still not aware about this devastating disease,” says Dr N C Borah, Chairman cum Managing Director, GNRC Hospitals. He also added that 70% of the Strokes are preventable. By creating awareness amongst the people about its risk factors majority of the Strokes can be prevented. Also by educating people in early recognition of Stroke and its prompt treatment we can achieve significant reduction in mortality and improvement in disability, Dr Borah claims. The October 29 is observed as the World Stroke Day and it is an opportunity for all of us to create awareness amongst the people about this devastating Public Health Problem. The members of GPC are requested to participate in the camp. _______________________________________________ assam mailing list [email protected] http://assamnet.org/mailman/listinfo/assam_assamnet.org
