Dr. Iftikhar Imam, Junior Consultant in Gastroenterology, conducted a session on ‘Fatty Liver – Symptoms, Complications, and Management,’ providing valuable insights into the implications of having fatty liver on overall health and its prevention.
In addition to the educational sessions, the health camp offered free consultations and basic medical tests, including general medical check-ups, specialised check-ups for pregnant women and new mothers, and personalised nutrition plans.
Employees also benefited from essential health screenings, such as blood sugar, blood pressure, height and weight measurements, and BMI assessments.
The initiative aimed at raising awareness about liver health and empowering coworkers with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed health decisions. Feedback from participants highlighted the importance of such initiatives in promoting a culture of health and wellness within the workplace, the release adds.
