Dear Friends at WHO Global Embrace Team,

The programmes at Trivandrum continues....The scientific session was inaugurated by the Mega Film Star, Padmasree Mohanlal at 4.00pm at Kanakakkunnu palace. The session was chaired by the Member of Legislative Assembly, Shri.MohanKumar. The Director Of Medical Education of Kerala State, Dr.K. A Kumar delivered the special lecture.

Shri. Mohanlal made a very meaningful speech and his future plans for setting up of a World Class Retirement Village for the Elderly. He went round and saw the Exhibition too.

All Indian Radio, Station Director Shri.Raveendran welcomed the gathering and Shri.CU Babu, Special officer of Indian Institute of Diabetes offered the vote of thanks.

Dr.Sunithakumari (Assoc Prof of Cardiology), Shri.Justin Padamadan (Psychologist), Dr.Shaji Prabhakaran (Prof of Neurology), Dr.Madusudanan(Professor of Medicine) , Dr.Jothydev(Indian Institute of Diabetes) spoke on various illnesses related to Old Age and how "Active Ageing " can be a reality. At the end there was a meet the expert session. The Public had the opportunity to interact with expert doctors.

The gathering was an unusually huge crowd of more than 1000 . It is worth mentioning that the WHO message of "Active Ageing, Moving hearts for Health' was successfully disseminated among the public solely because of the gracious presence of the Super Film Star , Shri.Mohanlal, an example of how a health related activity can be made acceptable to the common man. The way in which this event was covered by both print media and by the electronic media is simply incredible.

I am herewith sending a few more pictures of the event.

Let me once again thank the WHO GLOBAL EMBRACE team for their continuing encouragement and appreciation of our activities in this corner of the world.

Regards,

Dr.Jothydev, MD
