Mangaluru, Oct 28: On Sunday, October 24, a free fatty liver screening camp was conducted by SCS Hospital for the police department from 8 am to 6 pm.

The camp was led by Dr Chandrashekar J Sorake, consultant Gastroenterologist and Hepatologist, SCS Hospital assisted by Dr Shalini, Dr Afridi and the hospital team. Free screening and consultation followed by an educative talk and presentation by the medical team of the hospital for the police personnel were the key highlights of the day.

The police personnel were very grateful to the doctors and SCS Hospital management for the counselling and free fatty liver screening which they found beneficial. The hospital plans to conduct a few more similar free camps for the benefit of the general public in the near future.
