Along with blending with society and providing medical services, creating awareness is very essential. Especially among senior citizens, hearing loss and balance disorders are common, and awareness must be raised with utmost care and detailed information, said Dr. N. S. Mahanteshetti, Principal of J. N. Medical College.
Inaugurating the Continuing Medical Education Workshop on Balance Disorders and Vertigo organized on 27th September 2025 by the Department of ENT, J. N. Medical College, KAHER, and KLES Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital & Medical Research Centre, he said that people in rural areas have almost no awareness about vertigo. Therefore, young doctors must mingle with society and rural communities to spread awareness about comprehensive screening and treatment.
He further added that lifestyle changes can help prevent health problems. Maintaining balance is very important. When dizziness occurs, it becomes impossible to carry out any activity. This condition is mostly seen in the elderly, and they must be taken care of in a systematic manner.
Hospital Medical Director Dr. Col. M. Dayanand said that comprehensive healthcare services are being provided under one roof. Effective treatment is being given, and all facilities required for senior citizens have been arranged. He also emphasized the need to create awareness among the public.
Dr. Srinivas D. R., a specialist from Bengaluru, delivered a lecture. Dr. V. D. Patil, Director of Hospital Development and New Projects, also spoke. On this occasion, Vice Principal Dr. Rajesh Pawar, Dr. Arif Maldar were present. Head of ENT Department Dr. Rajendra Metgudmath welcomed the guests.
