Doctors in Mysuru have been told to join the SVEEP campaign, requesting their patients not to miss voting in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls.
At a meeting convened for the people in healthcare profession and medical officers, organised by Mysuru SVEEP Committee in association with the Department of Health and Family Welfare here, the doctors were advised to use outpatient prescription slips with printed messages on voter education. This would help generate awareness among the voters.
ZP CEO K.M. Gayathri, who chaired the meeting, also advised for taking up voter education drives at the medical stores. She also advised doctors to spread voter education in the health camps that are conducted by the Department of Health and Family Welfare.
