To combat diabetes in the city, 16 year-old Pradyumna Laddha organises free health camps for those who can't afford a visit to the doctor
You wouldn’t expect a 16 year-old to be concerned about the country’s healthcare system. For Pradyumna Laddha, however, diagnosing diabetes and spreading awareness about the disease is an issue that’s close to his heart. On October 14, Laddha organised his third health camp at Worli’s Jijamata Nagar slums where 210 people showed up for free consultations. This camp was a part of the Good Health Movement, an initiative started by Laddha to help the underprivileged.
