Heart Disease Awareness Day: Healthy Heart, Healthy Life!

BILAL FOUNDATION ACTIVITIES: Bilal Foundation hosted a specialized heart wellness camp on 5th Oct, 2017 in collaboration with Bilal Hospital and PharmEvo. The purpose of organizing this event was to increase awareness about heart disease and its risk factors. The day’s activities included free checkup of blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar level, BMI, and heart health tests (ECG, ECHO & ETT) on 30% discount. BMI and nutritionist consultation was provided by PharmEvo and the rest of the free and discounted tests were provided by Bilal Hospital.

Overall 60 patients were treated, out of which 5 to 6 patients were newly diagnosed with high blood sugar level, 10 patients were newly diagnosed with high cholesterol, 8 patients were newly diagnosed with high blood pressure and 15 patient’s BMI levels indicated obesity. Free consultation was provided on spot by the nutritionist. Some of the patients were suggested with some heart health tests while others were referred to Bilal Hospital’s chest pain clinic.

The event was successful in detecting early warning signs in some patients and it gives a chance to patients to better take care of their health and significantly improve their quality of life.
