Excelsior CorrespondentJAMMU, Apr 27: In order to educate the masses regarding the ever importance of religion and spirituality in preventing cardiovascular diseases, Head Department of Cardiology GMCH Jammu Dr Sushil Sharma held a day long cardiac awareness cum health check up camp at Sarv Shakti Chandi Mata Mandir, Dhammi Nagrota , Jammu with a purpose to make people aware of this dimension of healthcare particularly with reference to cardiac ailments.While interacting with the people, Dr Sushil stated that Religious Places act as platforms where large numbers of people gather regularly. “These gatherings present an opportunity to disseminate valuable health information.
Religious leaders, often respected and trusted by their communities, can play a pivotal role in delivering messages about CVD prevention, emphasizing the importance of regular check-ups, healthy eating, and physical activity. Religious texts and sermons can be interpreted to promote body care as a spiritual responsibility, reinforcing healthy behaviors. Religious institutions have traditionally been seen as spiritual sanctuaries, but their influence extends far beyond the realm of faith.
One significant, yet often overlooked, contribution of religious places lies in their potential to promote public health-particularly in spreading awareness and encouraging prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Through various channels, including teachings, community gatherings, and lifestyle influence, religious places can actively shape knowledge and behaviors related to heart health,” Dr Sharma said.Others who were part of the camp include Dr Yashwant Sharma, Dr Venkatesh Yellupu, Dr Dheeraj Jamwal, Dr Rohit Sharma and Dr Tarun Sharma.
Paramedics and volunteers include Raghav Rajput, Rajkumar, Ranjeet Singh, Gourav Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, Rahul Vaid, Makhan Sharma, Paramveer Singh, Mukesh Sharma, Nirvair Singh Bali, Vikas Kumar and numerous volunteers of the Mandir.The post Religious places can help in fight against diseases: Dr Sharma appeared first on Daily Excelsior..
