We organized an expert talk followed by a press meeting for the occasion of World Sleep Day. An expert talk was organized to bridge the knowledge/awareness gap about sleep disorders. Clinicians including medical dental faculty, residents, researchers, paramedics, patients and their family members participated in this talk and shared thoughts about sleep issues.
During this talk a patient discussed his pre- and post-treatment experience and improvement in quality of life. This patient had reduced 14 kg weight in 5 month time after using CPAP treatment along with lifestyle modifications.
National TV channel “SAHARA SAMAYA” also covered this event.
We also translated World Sleep Day material into Hindi.
