The Butterfly Health Newsletter published its first edition in December 2016. The previous District Collector of Ernakulam, Shri Mohammed Y. Safirulla, inaugurated the launch of the newsletter by handing over the first edition to the preceding Assistant Collector, Dr. Renu Raj. Dr. Pavithran K. (Head, Medical Oncology, Amrita Hospital), Dr. Subramania Iyer (Head & Neck Oncology, Amrita Hospital), Shri. Praveen Verma (Operations Manager, Lulu Mall), and Shri. C. P. Nair (Preceding Secretary, BCCF) also graced the occasion.
Butterfly organized a musical event on this same day in association with Anandam Band at Lulu Mall, Kochi, for all our kids, supporters, and the public. The concept of a health newsletter was aroused by the recent spread of many myths about medical facts through social media. Through this newsletter, we are addressing many such myths with real scientific facts. In addition, newsletter content also speaks about many useful health information and tips, recent findings and innovations in the medical field, and an expert clinician’s column, where an expert doctor speaks about his perspective on different diseases.
