Free elderly health camp conducted by SCHCS at KGMT premises on 26th January 2017

A free elderly health camp was conducted by members of SCHCS in collaboration with KGMT hospital, Zoo Narengi Road, Guwahati on 26th of January 2017 from 10 am to 2 pm. While Dr. Neelakshi Mahanta introduced the team members and highlighted the aims and objectives of SCHCS, Dr. Ankumoni Saikia briefly gave an awareness talk about active aging and Preventive Geriatrics.

 Around 25 elderly patients were seen by team members of SCHCS which included Dr. Neelakshi Mahanta, Dr. Ankumoni Saikia and Dr. Yogiraj Das. Doctors and staff from KGMT Hospital also came forward to assist our team. Priyanka Bhattacharjee and Debastuti Baruah helped with the psychological assessments along with tips for cognitive stimulation, while Ms. Preeti Rekha Goswami and Sankar Talukdar did the functional assessments and gave advice on physiotherapy for active and healthy aging.

The programme was highly appreciated by all, and the need for such future initiatives along with awareness programmes was put forward by those who attended the camp.

SCHCS expressed its gratitude to Dr. Nivedita Goswami, Managing Trustee of KGMT Hospital for providing the logistic support.
