Fathers, mothers, sons and daughters of Valasaravakkam woke up to an era of health awareness and proactive action on this non-lazy Sunday.
Chennai, 15 June
CHC Pharmacy, Chennai’s first and only neighbourhood pharmacy, daily essentials store and family clinic, and a unit of Healthwatch Telediagnostics – a global leader in preemptive healthcare – is gratified at the success of a free medical camp on Sunday, 15 June, at its Valasaravakkam branch to commemorate Father’s Day.
The camp, which offered free examination and review of ECG, blood pressure, blood glucose, bone density, nutrition and other vitals, received a tremendous response, as over 200 people, many elderly, walked in over the four hours for which the camp was operational.
The participants, after a thorough onceover, were counseled on their health status, and an in-house doctor prescribed any drugs and supplements necessary, along with a health report card to help them track progress over the coming weeks.
Notably, this was the second such camp CHC Pharmacy has conducted. The previous one was at the West Mambalam branch on Republic Day this year.
Dr (Hon) S Senthil Kandeepan, Founder-CEO, said, “People are our priority, and public health is our mission. So we’re always striving to facilitate a healthier society.”
He added that CHC Pharmacy was founded last year with a simple vision – ‘people-first healthcare’, the idea being to transform healthcare into an accessible, personalised and convenient experience.
Anandakrishnan S, VP – Operations, remarked, “Knowledge is power. Awareness of your current health condition is key to early intervention and corrective measures. That is why we’re so gratified to have extended this facility to our neighbourhood.”
He rejoined that the excellent response to the camp revealed a greater consciousness in people for personal health, which is highly encouraging in these times of increased stress, a multitude of mental pressures and skyrocketing healthcare costs.
“Clearly there is a need for a service that cares for the community, and we’re just that,” chimed Dr Kandeepan.
CHC Pharmacy, whose promise is to offer a holistic range of authentic and global products and services straight from their heart to your doorstep, seeks to be a neighbour everyone can count on. It combines all primary and necessary services for personal health and wellbeing in one trustworthy place, with customer-focused innovations such as free 30-minute home delivery of medicine and essentials, at-home doctor visits and physiotherapy, doorstep blood tests and telediagnostics, and more.
And with such trust-building initiatives, it seems all set to enter not merely the neighbourhood residents’ doorsteps, but also the threshold of their hearts.
