In line with NorthCap University’s commitment towards ‘Disease free Fraternity through Preventive Health Measures’ ‎a free of cost Diagnostic Camp, was organised in a tie up with Vijaya Diagnostic Centre on 22 September 2017. The camp was undertaken in the format of a diagnostic campaign for Blood Sugar and Haemoglobin to make the fraternity aware about their own role in the prevention of several diseases and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Around 100 members including students, faculty and staff benefited from the camp coordinated by Dr. Shilpy Wadhwa, Medical Consultant, NCU.
