Both the speakers explained about the test results and their interpretations. They also mentioned medicines and answered questions from the audience.
12 PM to 1 PM was a time allocated to other health workers who sat up about seven tables and were there to explain about the various health matters. 17 Health personnels were in attendance.
After the lunch from 2.15 PM to 3.15 PM, Dr Ameet Bakhai, Consultant Cardiologist and Harward Scholar gave a talk on heart related problems. Dr Ameet Bakahi was specially invited by us.
