Unity Heath Complex holds cardiac check-up to mark World Heart Day

September 29, 2011

Mangalore, September 29: Though hospitals and police are two separate entities they play a similar role in the society, said Dr C P Habeeb Rahman, Chairman of Unity Health Complex.

Delivering the presidential address at the World Heart Day 2011 awareness programme-cum-free cardiac check-up camp for senior citizens, policemen, army, and ex-servicemen, organised at his hospital on Thursday, Mr Rahman said police and hospitals provide 24 X 7 service to the society facing all the hurdles. However, generally people don't hesitate to blame hospitals and police if there is an unsolvable case, he lamented.

Inaugurating the camp, Seemanth Kumar Singh, the DIGP and Commissioner of Police, expressed gratitude to the hospital for arranging such a camp for “those people who do not get time to visit hospital for a check-up”.

Dr Paul Varghese, Interventional Cardiologist, briefing the significance of World Heart Day, said that a special care about health is necessary to prevent cardiovascular diseases, which is one of the largest killers in the world.

He said that there is a need to create awareness against smoking, alcoholism and inadequate intake of fruits and vegetables, which normally lead to heart diseases and stroke.

Devaraj B, Administrative Coordinator of the hospital welcomed the gathering. G Chitra, Principal, Unity Academy of Education, proposed the vote of thanks. Ajmal M Habeeb, Managing Director of the hospital was present among others. The cardiac health check-up programme will go on till October 15.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said that the "RSS needs to be defeated to save the country" and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are "destroying the nation".

Kharge was speaking at a KPCC program where DK Shivakumar took charge as state Congress president.

He said that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are not ready to take accountability for any issues including China, and are instead blaming Rajiv Gandhi Foundation of getting funds from China.

"Rajiv Gandhi foundation utilized funds for the development of the nation and for the betterment of the downtrodden people," Kharge said.

"Prime Minister Modi and Shah both are destroying the economy of the nation, and their policies and plans are the reason for increasing COVID-19 situation in India," he said.

"Prime Minister and Amit Shah never listen to Opposition parties, instead they plan something and their policies are the reason for MSME losses and job losses in the country," he added.
