A team of 9 Doctors from Dr. D. Y Patil University conducted a medical camp for the students of 9th to 12th grades. Along with pulse, vision, teeth and ears were tested and students were given the results of the checkup and advised accordingly. Dr. Pallavi Bhirud also gave a lecture on Health and Hygiene for the 7th grade students. The focus was mainly on cutting down junk foods, sodas and relishing home made food which is made with love and is definitely healthy. Maximum screen time of 20 mins per day was the advice given to students, which will help in keeping the brain alert and ensure better vision for years to come. Students enjoyed interacting with her and asked different questions about the right quantity of water to be drunk during a day, the correct way of taking medicines and the truth behind various products that are advertised in the market which claim to have nutritional values. Dr. Pallavi felt that the students asked very interesting questions and commented on how much she enjoyed interacting with them.
