Dr.Samir Dani,a leading cardiologist
of the city, in his talk told that we are running very fast in the race of
increase in the cases of heart diseases. The age from having heart disease is
coming down. This is very alarming.
India today is progressing very fast in every
field and if the young Indian is not healthy this is can not be sustained and
the productivity of youth is going down. In western countries the result of
public awareness programmes are very encouraging.
Dr.Pragnesh Vachharajani,a family
physician and vice president of Ahmedabad Medical Association told that family
physician is most important in preventive care and strong message should be
conveyed to the public by them. Regular screening programmes and adherence to
the treatment of those who are already diagnosed is equally important.
Patient
education and mass awareness is key to all. Those that are at risk or having
unhealthy life style must be explained properly and peer pressure or counseling
will definitely help in this.
