It gives me immense pleasure to acknowledge their spirited life which in itself is inspiring for all of us.

Pooja Thakur, HIV positive survivor, while talking about her life she got emotional and she said “I would love to be surrounded with those who stood beside me when I needed them. It was hard for me to get a shelter in chandigarh and I did not get support from my family in my crucial times it shattered me for once but i didn’t lose hope and moved on for my children and to help people like me.”

At the event, SRL Diagnostics released a report on the importance of early diagnosis in women. As part of the report it emerged thatmost of the women are not knowledgeable about the changes that their bodies undergo over time. These statistics reveal the grim scenario of women’s health in Chandigarh.

Women in Chandigarh were examined for Anemia, Cardiovascular disorders, Thyroid, Vitamin D, diabetes & PCOD. According to the analysis (2012-2015) released by SRL, women from the age group of 31-45 years were found to be most susceptible to suffering from Anemia and the incidence of the condition in all the samples testedwas around 50%.Deranged HbA1c and FBS values were seen most frequently between the ages of 46—60 yearsand overall affecting around 30% of the total number of samples tested.Deranged thyroid function values were seen most frequently in the age group of 31—45 years. The incidence of abnormal thyroid function ranged from 15% to 20%.

“Women form the nucleus of every family. Unfortunately they are the most neglected section of our society. There is an urgent need for action to propagate the prominence of preventive healthcare in women. It needs to combat all kinds of ignorance regarding women’s health, which is showing an alarming upward trend of late. At SRL Diagnostics we lay emphasis on prevention and not just an early detection. Symptoms if treated timely and long before they develop into a full blown serious ailment are always better than late action which means higher expenses, misery and anxiety for the patient and the family.”said Dr. Anita Sharma, regional head SRL Ltd.
