Seminar: Diabetic Awareness And “Orange The World”


The Seminar Diabetic Awareness and Orange the World for 60 Years and Above was organized to educate and empower senior citizens on essential health topics that directly impact their well-being.

The seminar recognized the unique limitations and health challenges faced by older adults. With this understanding, the event incorporated sessions that emphasized sustainable health practices, chronic disease awareness, legal understanding, and emotional well-being. The program successfully provided a learning environment that encouraged active participation and enhanced awareness.
