Bid Adieu…… 17th Perfect Health Mela

The 17th Perfect Health Mela comes to a successful end today. The 10-day Mela, an annual event of the Heart Care Foundation of India saw a huge turnout of the public, including participants from schools, colleges of Delhi and NCR. The focus this year was on ‘Lifestyle disorders’. Since its inception in 1993, this mega community service event has been a time-tested health awareness module not only for the public but also the participating students.

Health Model Display, Poster cum Slogan making, Skit, Debate and Collage making on various Health Topics were few such activities.

This 10-day journey started with Swagat (inaugural function) followed by ‘Anmol’, a festival for children with special needs. In this journey, several other events Harmony (inter school festival), Heritage (inter dancing school festival), Divya Jyoti (inter nursing school festival), Medico Masti (inter medical college and college festival), Health Darbar (public audience with medical experts) were our major milestones.

The last session of the Mela ‘eMedinewS Update’ will see participation of top doctors of the city. Various health topics that are relevant today will be discussed.

Bid Adieu, the valedictory function will be held today evening to mark the closing of the Mela. Prizes for the ‘Best Stall’ would be awarded.

I thank all the participants Depts. of Govt. of Delhi, NGOs, Public Sector Undertakings, Schools and Colleges for their wholehearted efforts and contribution in making this Mela informative and entertaining.
