CAN WIN – WIN OVER CANCER
Topic - Common
Health Mistakes Made by Women
Place – ABES,
NH 24, Ghaziabad on 14.1.2015
On the
makar Sankranti day, it was a pleasure to visit and give an all lady talk at
ABES Engineering College.
I dedicated
my talk to the brave soul father of Ms Sonia Sharma. He was a cancer winner
succumbed to an habit which has taken life of many people, yes you guessed it
right - Tobacco. Sonia has taken a vow
to fight this menace and spread the message to save the youth
.
I was
welcomed by Academic Director – Dr Neeta Awasthy and Head of Womens Cell of
ABES – Mrs Madhu Khurana and of course Ms Charu Vaish.
The talk
was inaugurated by Dr Surendra Kansal, Director of the Institution.
The
interactive session of around 2 hour, attended by 83 faculty members of the
institution covered common health aspects faced by women in the today’s world
where they have to work in two shifts -
Work place and home. The challenges they are facing maintaining a balance in
the changing social environment is taking toll on their health. The discussion
covered the stress and preventive measures that they have to take to keep
themselves healthy both physically and mentally.
6 Worst
Health Mistakes Women Make
- Underestimate Heart Disease
- Putting off Pap Smears
- Neglecting Breast Examinations
- Not Knowing Family History
- Ignoring Calcium
- Skipping Exercise
Special
focus was on self breast awareness – 3 minutes 3 fingers once in 30 days can
save your life and Your hygiene - your
responsibility with special emphasis on Gardasil, HPV vaccination to protect
from Cervical cancer.
The program
was summed up aptly by Dr Awasthy – “until unless we take care of ourselves we
will not be able to take care of others – let us be conscious of our needs
also”.
I thank the
management of ABES for giving me an opportunity. I am grateful to the staff who
took time off from their work for the seminar.
