Panchkula 28th November:- With an objective to make people aware of lungs related diseases, a breathe free awareness month is being organised at a Panchkula private hospital.
Addressing an informing session on campaign at Alchemist Hospital on Thursday, Dr. Vishal Sharma, consultant-pulmonologist said that in this campaign, we are running special clinics for asthma, allergy, quit smoking, pneumonia and swine flu vaccination.
Apart from this hospital is also organizing health talks at corporate sectors to make aware their employees for lung diseases like the treatment and preventions, so that these diseases can be treated timely, he informed.
Talking about problems arising from air pollution these days, Dr Vishal said that smoke, smog, Freon, sulphates etc. are the major air pollutants that cause damage to the lungs. The development of lung cancer can effectively be prevented by quitting smoking. It is also important to stop yourself from getting exposed to passive smoking as a lung cancer preventive method, he pointed out.
