On 28.9.12 Stemade Biotech Pvt. Ltd visited Orchids-The International School. Stemade Biotech is India’s first private Dental Stem Cell Bank.

Stemade Biotech introduced the GO FOR HEALTH programme to educate children on healthy practices in everyday life. Bharath, the resource person, made the students enthusiastic by asking various questions on how they keep themselves fit and healthy. He showed a video on immunity.

Students learnt interesting facts like-

·         We shed 8kgs of skin during a lifetime

·         We grow 8mm in our sleep and shrink back to normal.

Students also learnt to check their pulse rate which created a lot of enthusiasm. Students were given Dr.Junior kit to assess the health of their family members.

Teachers were also informed about the various common symptoms children have and their preventive measures. Dr.Sushmitha Kamireddy educated the teachers about the milk teeth of children which can be banked for future use in case of dire necessities like stroke, spinal cord injury, arthritis, juvenile diabetes.
