“Launching
'Wellness on the Wheels' is a pioneering step towards a healthier future. This
initiative brings comprehensive preventive health check-ups to your doorstep,
promoting early diagnosis and well-being. WOW will initiate the culture of
preventive healthcare while reaching out to economically weaker and rural &
remote sections in the state. With advanced diagnostic tools and expert
healthcare professionals, 'Wellness on the Wheels' is the embodiment of
accessible, quality care. Diabetes is creating a great havoc to our society, we
are happy to organize this diabetic health camp for our State Superheroes. In
general Policemen do not have a regular time schedule. They have to work more
than the normal hours every day which leads to irregular and unhealthy eating
habits. After the age of 40, we see most of the people being diagnosed with
diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol and lifestyle diseases. The primary reasons
for the rise in complications are delay in diagnosis and lack of regular follow
ups.” Said Dr GSK Velu,
Chairman and Managing Director Neuberg Diagnostics. “I would like to
take this opportunity to thank Shri. Shankar Jiwal IPS, Director General of
Police Tamil Nadu for taking out his valuable time for inaugurating WOW
(Wellness on the wheels)”, he added further.
The Diabetic
Health Camp organised for the police personnel and their family members is
comprised of Height, Weight, BMI, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar Levels, Test, Eye
Check and doctor consultation. The 18 days of diabetic health camp will be held
across all the police quarters in the Chennai city in the respective areas,
