To commemorate World Diabetes Day 2026, Christian Medical College (CMC) organized an awareness exhibition and poster competitions. The event, hosted by the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, was centered on the global theme ‘Early Action on Diabetes.’
Inaugurated by Vaibhav Londhe, associate director (Administration) at CMC, the initiative aimed to promote diabetes prevention, early diagnosis, and holistic management. The program emphasized the critical role of timely screening, education, and care in managing the condition.
As part of the event's screening efforts, more than 350 participants underwent blood glucose testing, as well as eye and foot examinations. To make the educational process more engaging, the college utilized interactive games, posters, and puppet shows to deliver awareness sessions.
