Note from Nicholas Sequeira, president of the Saligao Civic and Consumer Cell: Dear friends, All our lives we are in the pursuit of happiness. To achieve this, we very often turn to spiritual means and many of us chase after earthly pleasure. But no matter what we do, we have to face one truth: if we do not have good health, then the quality of our lives diminishes rapidly. Hence we are prepared to go to great lengths and spend large sums of money to obtain good medical treatments, which will restore our health. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure -- a wise saying which specially applies to our modern lifestyles. Why do we not then take preventive measures to delay the onset of certain ailments, which unfortunately afflict all, if not most of us, as we grow older? Many of today's sicknesses can be delayed if not prevented altogether from afflicting us, if we are prepared to listen to doctors and dieticians who have the answers to many of our problems. In view of what I have said above, the Saligao Civic and Consumer Cell is organising a *health workshop* at Lourdes Convent Hall on February 19, 2006 at 10.30 am sharp. Senior doctors from the Goa Medical College, Bambolim; Apollo Victor Hospital, Margao; and the Mandovi Clinic, Porvorim are going to talk on the subjects of diabetes, heart and coronary disease, arthritis, osteoporosis and cancer. This is not a clinic, but the doctors will field questions from the audience which are general in nature, so that maximum benefit can be obtained by all. What can you do in this specific cause? You can come and be part of this learning and awareness process. You can come and do some good to yourself and your family. You can serve the community by spreading the message. So please be there and let us take our consumer movement forward. _______________________________________________ Saligaonet mailing list [email protected] http://lists.goacom.org/mailman/listinfo/saligaonet
