Pune: A total of 237 people underwent free preventive health screenings during a three-day Heart Health Check-Up Camp organised by Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune from September 29 to October 1, 2026, as part of its World Heart Day initiative. The campaign was aimed at encouraging people to pay closer attention to their heart health and understand the importance of regular monitoring, even when they may not have any noticeable symptoms.<\/p>\n

Heart-related health risks can develop gradually, while conditions such as high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar and excess weight may remain unnoticed for long periods. Regularly checking these basic health parameters can help individuals become more aware of potential risk factors and seek medical advice when required. The initiative therefore focused on making preventive screening more accessible and encouraging people to treat heart health as a part of routine healthcare rather than something to address only after symptoms appear.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The camp saw\u00a073 people on the first day, 80 on the second day and 84 on the third day. Participants received free screening for\u00a0Body Mass Index (BMI), Blood Pressure (BP) and Blood Sugar Level (BSL), along with a free cardiac consultation with a doctor and a cardiac diet consultation. The consultations also provided guidance on nutrition, physical activity and lifestyle changes that can support better cardiovascular health.<\/p>\n

Dr Purvez K. Grant, Chief Cardiologist, Chairman and Managing Trustee, Ruby Hall Clinic, said,\u00a0\u201cPreventive healthcare begins with awareness and regular monitoring. Heart health should not be something we think about only when symptoms appear or an emergency occurs. Simple checks such as blood pressure, blood sugar and BMI can provide important information about a person\u2019s health and encourage timely action. The response to this initiative, with 237 people participating over three days, shows the value of creating accessible opportunities for people to take a closer look at their health.\u201d<\/p>\n
