To raise awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco use, vaping, and secondhand smoke, the Indian Doctors Forum (IDF) partnered with Indian schools across Kuwait to deliver impactful awareness sessions on April 16, aiming to discourage the use of tobacco in all its forms.Around twenty Indian doctors participated in this commendable initiative, and the sessions were very well received by both school management and students.
The principals of the schools expressed their appreciation for the inspiring presentations and the doctors’ ability to engage children with such an important topic in an interesting and accessible way.
They wholeheartedly welcomed the effort and conveyed their gratitude to the Indian Doctors Forum (IDF) for this noble initiative, expressing interest in hosting more such sessions in the future.
Dr. Sameer Humad, the president of the IDF, extends sincere thanks and appreciation to all the participating doctors who took time out for this meaningful cause.
The Indian Doctors Forum remains committed to community welfare, and its efforts reflect a comprehensive approach to protecting future generations, narrowing the gap in healthy life expectancy, and reducing the overall burden on healthcare services.
