Dr.vadivelu MD DM, Interventional Cardiologist, Madurai and Dr.M.Rammohan Director & Advisor Voice Trust-Madurai were the eminent speakers. The aim of this program was to educate people that by controlling risk factors such as tobacco consumption, unhealthy diet and physical activity, approximately 80 percent of premature deaths from heart disease can be avoided. According to the doctors, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a general sense of anxiety and fear of

contracting the virus, which deters people from coming forward and seeking medical help when the condition worsens. The doctor adds that getting a regular health check-up is one of the best ways to remain healthy.
