Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals collaborated with the Faridabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry to host a seminar of health and wellness. The seminar addressed members of the chamber around health complications like cancer and others associated with the heart, kidney and bone health. The seminar was addressed by Dr Manish Singhal, Senior Consultant, Medical Oncology and Dr Rajesh Chawla, Senior Consultant, Respiratory Medicine, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.
At the event, Dr Manish Singhal, Senior Consultant, Medical Oncology, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi, said,” When we discuss oncology or cancer medicine, we know that people are not only very fearful, but also there are a lot of misconceptions regarding its treatment . These myths and misconceptions regarding treatment and regarding care for oncology patients and their caregivers can compromise their quality of life in a detrimental way. Therefore, busting these myths is important. Hence platforms like this become extremely important for us to not only educate people about importance of prevention and early detection of diseases like cancer but also discuss scientific rationale behind denouncing common myths“.
Speaking about the initiative Dr Rajesh Chawla, Senior consultant, pulmonology and critical care, Indraprastha Apollo Hospital said “With a deterioration in Air Quality Index, there has been a subsequent rise in the number of patients suffering from COPD and bronchitis asthama over the last 2 decades. While the elderly patients are getting affected on a large scale, the life expectancy of the people have reduced by 3.2 years. Furthermore, according to a survey, 21% of children are also experiencing lung function problems. To mitigate the effects of air pollution, it is recommended that individuals wear masks, consume a balanced diet, and use air purifiers, which can reduce pollutants by up to 95%.”
