TANKER Foundation’s TANKER Awareness and Prevention Program (TAPP) team conducted a screening camp at Brown Stone Apartment in Nungambakkam, Sunday, April 9, 2023.

The camp, organised by NGO Dasya Trust, saw the participation of 46 people which included the residents of the apartment and members of the general public.

Dr. Padma was at hand to guide the TAPP team that consisted of TAPP Head, Mrs. Rajalakshmi Ravi, and Mrs. Ramapriya and Mrs. Deepa.

They were ably assisted by two volunteers.

The participants had their BMI and blood pressure checked and their capillary blood glucose and urine tested.

The TAPP team found that the BMI was high for a large number of people. But, the team was happy to note that among the older participants, in the age group of 70s, who were more in number, their values were quite normal.

They were found to have only age-related issues.

The team observed that the residents could have been more enthusiastic about participating in the camp as only a few of them made use of it.
