September 22nd 2018

Every year World Heart Day takes place on 29th September and this year too the trust supported this global campaign by conducting an awareness program focusing on taking care of our own heart and the hearts of the loved ones. The aim of this campaign was to make a promise as an individual to get more active, say no to smoking and eat healthier. All in all, this campaign calls to make a simple promise for MY HEART, for YOUR HEART, for ALL OUR HEARTS. 

This year JMT in collaboration with Amar Jyoti Finance organized “World Heart Day 2018” campaign on 22nd September 2018 at Gamcha, New Thimi. It was a pleasure to see 380 participants attending the campaign and listening enthusiastically to the beneficial words spoken by eminent cardiologist Dr.Yuba Raj Limbu on facts about cardiovascular diseases and well-known endocrinologist Dr. Jyoti Bhattarai on women's health and heart diseases. Moreover, nutritionist Mr. Ashok Niraula presented on healthy diet and nutrition; and Mr. Bibek Singh demonstrated exercises to stay active. With the medical technical assistance from Shahid GangaLal national heart Center, Kathmandu, Manmohan Cardiovascular Transplant Center and Spectra Pharmaceuticals the trust also managed to provide a free blood pressure and blood sugar checkup to the participants.
