Main cause of this problem, people are becoming irresponsible about their health, food and lifestyle. Mostly people of general population ignore the chest pain and take pain killers but that could be symptoms of coming heart attack or cardiac disease. So in now lifestyle people should go for routine checkup.

The objective of this special camp was to raise awareness about Hypertension and Heart disease. Highlight that diabetes and high blood pressure are key risk factors for Heart Attack, to encourage people for quiet smoking, limited alcohol and proper exercise and eat healthy food.
