Title: World Hearing Day Celebration
Description: On World Hearing Day 2023, D.Y. Patil Hospital in Kolhapur, India hosted a celebration involving various healthcare professionals such as ENT surgeons, pediatricians, gynecologists, general practitioners, audiologists, and nurses. They displayed posters crafted by medical students that conveyed important messages based on WHO guidelines and provided insightful lectures centered around the year’s theme: the emphasis on ear hygiene. Special guests included the civil surgeon of Rural Hospital, Kolhapur, and the medical officer of ESIC Hospital, Kolhapur.
