In commemoration of World Heart Day, observed globally on 29th September 2025 with the theme “Never Miss a Beat,” the Department of Practice of Medicine at JIMS College, in collaboration with the Departments of Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology & Microbiology, and Community Medicine, launched a two-day initiative to promote cardiovascular health and awareness.
As part of Day 1 activities, a comprehensive Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Risk Screening Camp was organized at Nednoor, where individuals from the community were evaluated for major risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, lifestyle habits, and family history. The screening aimed at early identification and timely guidance to prevent future cardiac complications.
Following the camp, interns delivered an engaging and educational awareness skit, highlighting the importance of heart-healthy practices, regular checkups, exercise, dietary habits, and stress management. The initiative reflected the institution’s commitment to preventive healthcare, community service, and experiential learning for students.
