On 24th July, eminent cardiologist Dr. Aashish Contractor was invited to the Middle School to speak to the children about the importance of inculcating healthy habits at their age so that they are less likely to develop lifestyle diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. He also explained to them the need to eat wisely in order to boost their immunity to avoid contracting infections. He also gave the children many useful tips to prevent monsoon diseases. Dr. Contractor’s affable manner and child friendly presentation was greatly appreciated by the teachers and children alike. Later that day, a team of young doctors measured the BMI (Body Mass Index) of each child and teacher and provided them with strategies to improve their overall health.
