Asian Heart Institute (AHI), a leading hospital in cardiac care organised a free cardiac health check-up camp for Mumbai police at Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) police station recently.
The medical camp was reportedly a huge hit as over 200 policemen including police officers and male and female constables from seven police stations in zone 8 got their health checkup done.
“We often forget to thank people who do so much for us, as a part of their duty. This is Asian Heart’s way of saying thank you,” said Dr Ramakanta Panda, VC and Cardio-Vascular Thoracic Surgeon, AHI.
Doctors checked these policemen and women for blood sugar, ECG, body mass index (BMI) and other such essential tests to evaluate their vital health parameters. Police personnel were then given consultation by doctors and dietician. Over a period of time the camp intended to cover over 1000 police personnel.
“All police officers work at least 14 hours a day and many of them show little concern about their health. We are delighted with this initiative taken by Asian Heart Institute providing us with a free health check up camp. These kinds of camps help us monitor our health issues and also take positive steps in maintaining sound health,” said Chandrakant Bhosle, Sr Police Inspector, BKC police station.
