Among the suggestions, the doctors feel a dedicated cell should be established in the office of Directorate of Health Services (DHS) to monitor the lungs of citizens on a daily basis. The team will submit suggestions to the government by next week.
"A lot of awareness needs to be spread. The figures are not very positive. We need to have a proper dedicated cell in the health department so that people can get their lungs regularly tested. Students should be included in the awareness programme, where they could be informed about the harmful effects of smoking," DrSuneela Garg, project director and sub-dean of MAMC told Mail Today.
