KARIMNAGAR, NOVEMBER 14, 2026: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) Karimnagar chapter has conducted a free diabetes screening camp at the Old High School Grounds, which was converted into a multipurpose park in Karimnagar town as part of the World Diabetes Day programme on Saturday.
The IMA Karimnagar chapter, in association with the Adarsh Hospital, conducted the camp wherein free diabetes, BP and ECG tests were conducted for the morning walkers at the Multipurpose park. They screened over 150 walkers.
Speaking on the occasion, IMA district president Dr Arun Katari said that ‘prevention is better than cure’, so along with good eating habits, physical exercise is important to prevent diabetes. He also said that if anyone is found to have sugar in the camp screening tests, then free consultation in hospitals on behalf of IMA and lab tests will also be given as much as possible.
IMA Secretary, Dr Vijay Kumar said, “Diabetes is like a sweet and slow poison which affects all the organs of the body, and hence eye and kidney tests should be done every 6 months with proper medication.” Treasurer Dr Audepu Manasa thanked the management of Adarsh Hospital & Multipurpose Park.
The organisers said that more programmes will be organised on behalf of IMA Karimnagar as part of social service for a healthy nation. Among those present on the occasion were Dr Aleem, Dr Sravanthi, Dr Praveen, Adarsh Hospital Manager Durga Prasad and hospital staff.
