    Good initiative by new Tulu Koota managing committee under the leadership of Ramanna to organise Health Awareness Event which concerns all of us living in Gulf region. Both doctors spoke very well. "PICTURE SAYS THOUSAND WORDS" - Dr.Pravesh's presentation on heart diseases was too good to the point.

    Thanks to Tulukoota for arranging such an event and I wish all the best to the new committee members.

    Special Thanks to Dr. Rajith for doing the co-ordination. Thanks Alex for nice coverage.

    Well done Tulu Koota for organizing health awareness programme. Where the awareness is very much essential and useful for everyone in their hectic and stressful life. Both the doctors briefed wonderfully and the slide show with explanation from Dr. Pravesh was excellent where as Dr. Abdul Rasheed highlighted on child care and attention during summer. Actually these type of health awareness should be organized regularly even children who were attended this session found that they too were listening carefully and observing the slides. Congratulations to the toppers who were honored and wish you all the best.

    Thanks to Alex for the report and spending your valuable time on the media coverage.
