The event further featured an enlightening awareness session led by Dr. Raktim and Dr. Samrat from ILS Hospital, the Healthcare Partner. The doctors emphasized the need for early detection, preventive lifestyle choices, and community awareness in reducing cancer risk. Their talk sensitized students to both the medical and emotional aspects of battling the disease.
Adding a personal touch to the event, Aditya Academy alumni Dr. Aditya Srimali and Sreya, a medical student, joined the session, sharing inspiring insights that connected science with social consciousness.
