Title: Community Awareness and Screening for Hearing
Description: AIIMS Jodhpur organized a series of community outreach events in both urban and rural areas of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, with a focus on increasing awareness about noise-induced hearing loss and its prevention. Our activities included school-based initiatives like quizzes, poster competitions, and skits, with prizes for participating students. Additionally, we conducted health talks and awareness sessions in one urban health center, in Pratapnagar, and three rural primary health centers in Keru, Dhawa, and Dhundhara.
