Health ministry to set up health camps at Delhi trade fair
Advertisement
Driven by a single-fold objective of creating more awareness about non-communicable diseases (NCDs), the health ministry has taken a decision to set up health camps at the high footfall site of the annual trade fair in Pragati Maidan in Delhi.
Concerned for the recent spurt in cases on NCDs, the government is hopeful of attracting more people with special arrangement being done at the premise. Entertainment capsules such as facebook desks and selfie contests will be organised to get people hooked onto the first-of-its-kind camp.
Elaborating on the facebook campaign, Asian Age has reported that an initiative has been taken to photograph the visitors at the camp with messages on NDs like “Let cancer be only a zodiac sign” and “Say no to tobacco” etc.
This initiative will help in creating local ambassadors for the cause, with all these pictures to be posted on the visitor’s facebook page, further propagating the cause. Other social media tools like twitter and live-streaming of videos will also be a part of the health camp initiative.
