Chandigarh Jan. 29,
2021:- As
many as 62 senior citizens were screened during a multi-speciality health
check-up camp at Max Hospital, Mohali. In the camp, doctors from orthopaedics,
urology and internal medicine provided free consultations to the senior
citizens.
During the
occasion, a health talk on ‘ageing and medical science’ was also organised
where Dr. Sachin Pandove, associate director, internal medicine gave tips on
how to keep fit in old age.
He said
that getting older is a natural life process. One need to stay socially
involved, start an active routine, try cardio-based activities, avoid injuries,
eat a healthy and well-balanced diet and relax more.
During the
occasion, Max Hospital also launched a 24x7 helpline 9872715522 for assistance
of senior citizens in need of medical help.
Vivan Singh
Gill, VP operations said that the helpline would help to avoid the
inconvenience of long queues for complete medical requirements. Moreover
Covid-19 induced precautionary measures have left the senior citizens bound
indoors and hence they are facing many psychological issues. We will also be
providing free home delivery of medicines, sample collections from home, and
ambulance rescue calls, thereby catering to a range of their needs.
