KATHMANDU, Jan 28: Renewal Energy Confederation of Nepal (RECoN) organized a heart checkup camp and health awareness related programs here on the occasion of the First International Day of Clean Energy.

Senior cardiologist Dr Om Murti Anil and his team carried out heart checkups of around 100 people.

On the occasion, Dr Anil explained to the participants about the risk of heart diseases and precautions to be adopted to reduce it, asking to give up the trend of taking regular medicines as an unnecessary burden and adopting alternative measures rather than consulting with health workers.

Sharing the information that the risk of heart diseases is increasing in Nepal due to unhealthy lifestyle, unhygienic food, no physical exercise, polluted environment, stress, and lack of interest in health awareness, he suggested adopting awareness.

Dr Anil stressed the need of regular health checkup on time and improvement in lifestyle as risk of health disease in youths is increasing in recent periods. Dr Anil urged the renewable energy entrepreneurs also to pay attention towards promoting the use of clean energy, as increasing the use of renewable energy will help reduce health risks.

Confederation President Gunaraj Dhakal shared that the heart check-up program has been organized on the occasion of the First Clean Energy Day since clean energy also has a role in reducing and preventing heart diseases.
