 <\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch,\u00a0Dr. Raju Sivasamy, Vice President, SIMS Hospital<\/strong>, said,\u00a0\u201cWorld Health Day serves as a reminder that the health of our youngest citizens must remain a top priority. Every child deserves access to quality preventive healthcare early in life. Through \u2018Care Bears\u2019, SIMS Hospital is proud to invest in a future where children are given the healthiest possible start. This program represents more than just a health check, it\u2019s our commitment to making preventive paediatric care accessible to all. Let this be a starting point for collective action – by families, institutions, and communities – to ensure no child is left behind when it comes to basic healthcare and well-being.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2018Care Bears\u2019 is an initiative spearheaded by the Paediatrics Department at SIMS Hospital in collaboration with Government Palvadi\u00a0and Kindergarten schools across Chennai. The program is designed to offer comprehensive paediatric care that includes regular screening, early diagnosis, nutritional guidance, and parent education.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As part of this outreach, a dedicated team of paediatricians and healthcare professionals from SIMS Hospital will conduct monthly visits to participating schools. Children aged 0\u20135 years will be screened for growth parameters including height, weight, developmental milestones, and cognitive and emotional wellbeing. Additional assessments will include checks for chest deformities, dental hygiene, sensory health such as vision and hearing, and overall physical wellness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Beyond health assessments, Care Bears will also feature interactive awareness sessions for parents, focusing on the importance of early intervention and how to nurture a healthy child. These sessions aim to equip parents with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions about their child\u2019s health journey.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With a goal to impact 10,000 children by the end of 2025, SIMS Hospital reaffirms its commitment to preventive healthcare and community well-being – one child at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
