SRINAGAR, Aug 22: Additional Director General (ADG) of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) in Srinagar, Rajinder Chaudhry today inaugurated a free health check-up camp for media fraternity.
The Camp was organized by PARAS Health, Srinagar in coordination with PIB Srinagar (Union Ministry of Information & Broadcasting) at Press Enclave Srinagar.
The Event took place in the presence of Joint Director of PIB Srinagar Qazi Salman and Deputy Director of PIB Srinagar Tariq Ahmad Rather.
While inaugurating the Camp, the ADG said since media sometimes works in a stressful environment under difficult situations, they must focus on their overall health and must follow the universal mantra ‘prevention is better than cure’. Chaudhry expressed hope that media will take forward this message of the importance of preventive healthcare check-ups up to the common man.
Journalists appreciated the initiative of PIB Srinagar and said that these kinds of health check-up camps must be organized regularly for media as their stressful work environment is sometimes contributing to different health problems which must be taken care of at an early stage.
During the Camp, more than 150 journalists belonging to different media organizations were examined by a team of specialists including Dr Afshan Shabir (Senior Consultant, Internal Medicine), Dr Shabeer Ahmad Paul (Consultant Neurology) and Dr Fayaz Ahmad Rather (Consultant, Interventional Cardiologist at PARAS Health, Srinagar).
Several free healthcare services like ECG, BMI and BSR measurements were provided on the spot during the health check-up camp.
