Bro. Dr. Hitendra conducted a very inspiring talk in Bahasa Malaysia
at the above seminar to a crowd of about 60 people. His genuine
concern for people to become aware and take good care of their own
health was very much felt throughout his talk.
He stressed strongly on how prevention must overtake cure and educated
the people on how to prevent three of the killer diseases which was,
diabetes, hypertension and the management of high cholesterol. He
described to them the serious consequences of these illnesses if left
unchecked.
He made graphic power-point presentations of patients whose limbs and
eyesight suffered the consequences of diabetes and this definitely had
an impact on the audience. He also highlighted on the sufferings of
patients who were on dialysis and also of those who had suffered
stroke and heart diseases.
He then made power-point presentations of patients giving their own
testimonies. This gave the audience a ‘first-hand account’ of the sad
and serious consequences that could similarly befall them if they do
not motivate themselves to seek medical checkups soon.
Dr. Hitendra concluded his talk by telling the people the importance
of spirituality to our health and of how the practice of good human
values has an effect in helping us lead a healthier life.
There was a short Question & Answer session and the seminar ended at
around 12:15 p.m.
Light refreshment was served.
Jai Sai Ram.
