IGNOU organises health camp for female employees
20 May, 2012
The Indira Gandhi National Open University’s
(IGNOU’s) School of Health Sciences (SOHS) organised a free health camp
in association with the Sitaram Bhartia Institute of Science and
Research, New Delhi for gynaecological problems which covered general
gynaecological consultation, self breast examination and Pap-smear test
for female employees, family members and students of the University.
Prof. M. Aslam, VC, IGNOU graced the occasion. The
health camp began with a health talk in the convention center of the
university addressed by Dr. Renu Mishra, head, Gynaecology department of
the hospital. The talk focused on menopausal problems and preventive
strategies for gynaecological cancers.
She highlighted that about 200 women die every day
due to CA CERVIX in India. About 50% of them could be saved by screening
tests like PAP-Smear.
In addition to Dr. Mishra, three more
gynaecologists participated in the camp. Doctors visiting the camp were
Dr. Rinku Sen Gupta, Dr. Preeti Vyas and Dr. J. Aruna Kumari. More than
100 female employees were examined by these doctors.
The SOHS will be coming up again with a health camp
for Cardiology, Endocrinology, Surgery, and Ophthalmology checkups in
association with the Batra hospital.
