The organisers and the medicos, who participated in the camp, appealed to the people to shun smoking, drinking and chewing tobacco, which led to chronic ailments.

According to Dr.G.S Wander -Most of the people are suffering from hypertension. This major issue is increasing day by day because people were not aware with this problem in initial stage. Main cause of this problem, people are becoming irresponsible about their health, food and lifestyle. Mostly people of general population ignore the chest pain and take pain killers but that could be symptoms of coming heart attack or cardiac disease. So in now lifestyle people should go for routine checkup.

Medicines were distributed free of cost along with investigative tests like ECG and Blood Sugar to all patients participated in the camp.
