World Health Day was commemorated on the 7th of April at SMIMS, the institution I work at.

This years theme for World Health Day is: Save Lives - Make Hospitals Safe During Emergencies.

We organized a poster exhibition at the hospital. Medical, Dental, Nursing and other Paramedical Students prepared and exhibited posters.

The Students had a wonderful time exhibiting their posters. A total of 66 posters were there.

A group of 6th semester Medical students led by Anu Ann Zachariah won the first prize for the world health day poster designing competition.

There was also a free medical examination camp at the rural health center, which was also very successful.
