2. Public Awareness Programmes

A public awareness programme was held in the evening of 23rd April'2004 at Bharateeya Bhasha Parishad Auditorium in Kolkata. One hundred and twenty-six patients, all being treated for advanced endometriosis, with their family members, attended the evening. Prof. B.N. Chakraborty, in an exceptional and explicit Bengali speech, described the hard facts about the disease, which was a lesson for both the patients and professionals. A documentary, An Enigma, was presented by Mr. P. Das Mahapatra. The theme was based on normal menstrual cycle and its deviation that causes endometriosis. There were three slide presentations which extended the understanding further.

1. Endometriosis & Quality Of Life - Dr. Mandira Mukherjee
2. Living With Endometriosis-Dr. Sangeeta Agarwal.

It was a pleasant experience to watch two patients who had treatment for advanced endometriosis to perform songs of Tagore and Nazrul, which made the programme successful in its true sense. "Shinjini", a dance troupe led by Dr. Pritha Das Mahapatra presented a short choreography 'Vichitrarupini'.
The evening ended with play of Harmonica by Dr. P. K. Mitra.
