The exhibition is the initiative of Dr. Vishavdeep Singh, a young practicing physician, who got together a group made up of people from diverse professions-- there are doctors, dentists, psychologists, nurses, lawyers, businessmen, artists, social workers, research scholars, psychologists .etc. in the team.
According to Dr Vishavdeep S Kahlon, that in today's rat race no one really has time to look after one's health. New age traumas are mostly lifestyle disorders and other common diseases that prove fatal. It is rather unfortunate than surprising that even the highly educated people lack basic understanding on preventive medicine. Therefore, I decided that an exhibition be put up to share vital information on diseases with people at large. Dr. Vishavdeep rallied artists, creative designers and others to make meaningful exhibits that educate the layman about prevention and treatment of common as well as fatal health problems. The issue of acid attack has also been dealt with in the expo. Information on diseases like Diabetes, Blood Pressure, Anemia, Obesity, Thyroid, Silent killer Hepatitis C, Prostrate cancer etc is also available. This has been achieved by paintings depicting these diseases and which are made by water-colours, acrylic paints etc. The exhibits on display have all been converted into digital designs to bring in uniformity. Important medical topics like Joint & Bone Care, Heart Care, Protect Your Kidneys, Hormone Replacement Therapy after Menopause, Antenatal Care, Breast Self Examination, Brushing Technique, Dental Floss, Hair Care, Egg 'N' Diet, Emotional Freedom Technique, Eye Care, Immunization Really Saves Lives, Normal Delivery Versus Caesarian, Polycystic Ovarian Disease, Breast-feeding, New Born Care, Kangaroo Mother care, Smoking & Alcohol taking away life are also part of the Exhibition. Sums up Dr Vishavdeep, that this is my first step and humble mission to serve humanity. I hope the general public throngs the exhibition to gain insight into all medical problems of today. The ultimate aim is to make society disease free". This exhibition will be followed by a 'Stop Alcohol Campaign' around the New Year and a series of such health programs will be executed throughout Punjab by Dr .Vishavdeep Kahlon and his team.
