Thirty-three-year-old Achanta Umesh from the city has scaled Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe, on August 15. Mr. Umesh told reporters here on Saturday that he had waved the national flag on the mountain as a mark of achievement by an Indian mountaineer. The height of Mount Elbrus in Russia is 5,642 metres. “The adventure of scaling Europe’s highest peak has been attempted to spread the message for those battling with various cancers. I dedicate my adventure to them and want them to be brave and fight the malady. I cherish to be part of creating awareness on the early detection of cancer,” he said.

Under the NBS, newborns are screened for communication disorders before they are discharged from the hospital. For this, AIISH has collaborated with several hospitals to conduct screening which is performed to detect hearing impairment and other developmental disabilities that can affect speech and language development. The screening has been helping in early intervention for those identified with the disorders, as any delay in the identification poses risk and affects successful management of children with hearing loss, according to AIISH.
