AP: Kamineni Hospitals organises Kids Fest, offers free health screenings to children
The programme combined preventive healthcare with recreational activities, highlighting the importance of early health assessments and family well-being.
Children of hospital employees, ranging from infants to teenagers, underwent complimentary health screenings in five specialities — paediatrics, ophthalmology, ENT, dentistry and nutrition.
Medical specialists assessed their growth and development, vision, hearing, dental health and nutritional requirements. Nutritionists also provided personalised dietary advice, while parents were counselled on healthy eating habits, hygiene and age-appropriate lifestyles.
Speaking on the occasion, Kamineni Hospitals Executive Director Dr Gayatri Kamineni said childhood was the foundation for lifelong health and early assessments could help identify concerns relating to vision, hearing, dental health, nutrition and development.
She said the initiative was aimed at encouraging families to make preventive healthcare an essential part of raising healthy children.
Caring for employees also meant extending support to their families, and such programmes helped strengthen relationships beyond the workplace, she added.
The celebrations included games, recreational activities, food counters, snacks and mehendi stalls, providing an opportunity for hospital employees, children and families to interact and spend time together.
