SRMS Institute of Medical Sciences (IMS), Bareilly, celebrated its 24th Foundation Day with the successful organization of the four-day ‘Yuva Swasthya Mela’, which emerged as a significant public health initiative and recorded more than 5,000 registrations from July 1 to July 4.
Launched as part of the institution’s 24th anniversary celebrations, the health fair quickly evolved into a people-centric movement promoting preventive healthcare and early diagnosis. Organized daily from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, the initiative was specially designed for adults aged between 18 and 50 years, encouraging individuals to prioritize their health and undergo timely screening before illnesses develop.
The response to the health mela was overwhelming, with participation increasing steadily each day, reflecting growing awareness about preventive healthcare and healthy living.
The camp offered a comprehensive range of free diagnostic services, including blood pressure monitoring, blood sugar testing, hemoglobin estimation, electrocardiography (ECG), spirometry, fibroscan, lipid profile, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) testing, HbA1C, kidney function tests (KFT), Pap smear, and bone mineral density (BMD) assessment.
In addition, participants were offered a 50 per cent discount on advanced diagnostic investigations, including complete blood count (CBC), liver function tests (LFT), treadmill test (TMT), echocardiography (ECHO), liquid-based cytology (LBC), CT cardiac angiography, endoscopy, bronchoscopy, laryngoscopy, audiometry, optical coherence tomography (OCT) retina examination, nerve conduction velocity (NCV), electroencephalography (EEG), DEXA scan, and manometry.
As a special benefit, all patients visiting SRMS IMS during the ‘Yuva Swasthya Mela’ were also eligible for an exclusive 20 per cent discount on all diagnostic investigations.
Another major highlight of the event was the series of daily health awareness sessions conducted by medical experts from 12:00 PM onwards. Presented in a simple, interactive, and relatable manner, these sessions focused on a wide range of topics, including healthy lifestyle practices, disease prevention, balanced nutrition, postural disorders, obesity and BMI management, tobacco, alcohol and substance abuse, cholesterol control and heart attack prevention, stress management, mental health, anxiety, depression, mobile addiction, excessive screen time, fatty liver disease, kidney health, the importance of vaccination and regular health check-ups, healthy sleep habits, sexual and reproductive health, early warning signs of various cancers, common infections, hygiene practices, seasonal illnesses, and other lifestyle-related disorders.
