World Hypertension Day 17th May 2022

The Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Allied Health Sciences,  Manav Rachna International Institute of Research and Studies arranged numerous activities in the Department and community to commemorate World Hypertension Day. The 17th of May is designated as World Hypertension Day each year. “Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, and Live Longer” was the topic of World Hypertension Day this year.
In keeping with this year’s theme, the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics held a free health camp at MRIIRS and conducted community outreach by delivering counseling to Vanaprastha Vridh Ashram, Janak Seva residents Samiti, and Panchvati Old Age Home.
Students from the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics took blood pressure readings and gathered biochemical parameter data from faculty members. A total of 83 professors were evaluated. Based on their findings, they invited the faculty members to a recent health camp for body composition analysis and one-on-one dietary counseling.
Ninety-four persons attended the health camp, with another 50 receiving counseling in a nursing home. The health camp was an excellent learning opportunity for the pupils, who happily engaged. The health camp was a success, benefiting the Faridabad community, MRIIRS staff, and students.
