Main public event on Sunday
The main public programme will be held Sunday at Ashoka Greens, where organisers expect about 2,000 people to attend.
The event will focus on awareness, prevention and healthy living. More than 20 medical specialists from Paras Health will provide free outpatient consultations.
Subject to medical need and a doctor's recommendation, visitors will also have access to diagnostic facilities, including 2-D echocardiography, ultrasound, bone-density testing, magnetic resonance imaging and breast screening.
Organiser Himmat Singh said the programme will also include health talks, yoga and healthy-lifestyle sessions, a health exhibition and public awareness activities.
Experts will interact with visitors on women's health, fitness, nutrition, hospital services and health insurance.
The organisers said the festival aims to encourage people to focus on preventive healthcare rather than seeking treatment only after falling ill. The programme will promote timely health checkups, accurate health information, balanced nutrition, regular exercise and disease prevention.
Just Health and Wellness and BCI have invited residents to attend the Sunday event with their families and make use of the free consultations, screening services and awareness activities.
