Dr. Ricardo explained how Metabolic syndrome can lead to complications during pregnancy which pose risk to both mother and baby. He said that managing metabolic syndrome is vital for women's health and overall well-being, as it increases risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, stroke, liver disease etc. The lecture shed light on understanding the disease pathogenesis and approach to its management.
Mrs. Sushma Paul Berlia, Chairman, Apeejay Stya and Svran Group, said, "Dr. Ricardo Azziz not only has multiple dimensions to his personality but I would also like to mention that in him we found the kind of values that resonate with us."
