‘Health
is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind, and spirit.’
In
observance of World Health Day, the Health & Wellness Programme of Blue
Bells Model School, under the guidance of Dr. Alka Saxena, Deputy Director,
Health & Wellness, BBGS co- partnered with Max Hospital, Gurugram, to organize
Health Talk on UTI &
Gynaecological Health in Teens, on April 8, 2025
The session aimed to provide age-appropriate, relevant health education
to students—focusing on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) for girls of
Classes VIII to XII, and Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) for boys of
Classes IX to XII.
The keynote speakers were:
- Dr.
Ritu Sethi, Associate Director and Unit Head, Obstetrics
and Gynaecology, Max Hospital, Gurugram
- Dr. Mandeep
Dhanda, Director and Head, Unit 1 - Urology, Kidney
Transplant, and Oncology, Max Hospital, Gurugram
Dr. Sethi's expert insights into the topic
of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) were not only informative but also
empowering. Her session helped students understand the importance of managing
their health and provided practical knowledge on handling PCOS effectively.
Dr. Dhanda’s session on Urinary Tract
Infection (UTI) prevention and care was another highlight of the workshop. With
clarity and precision, he offered practical advice that was easily applicable
to the daily lives of students, helping them understand how to take preventive
measures and maintain their health.
The workshop was indeed a testament to the power of collaboration and the importance of health education for young students. With the collective efforts of medical professionals, the Health & Wellness team, and the school's management, the workshop not only raised awareness but also empowered students to take charge of their health and well-being.
