As part of the MDA's initiative to improve health through a community-based approach, Dr. Talib Mearza along with Dr. Asim Farooq delivered insightful lectures on cardiovascular disease in Croydon mosque. The conference was chaired successfully by Imperial College medical student Adeel Iqbal, and allowed members from the community to learn about a variety of issues including obesity, diabetes, myocardial infarction, metabolic syndrome as well as an opportunity to ask questions.

The lectures were followed up by a practical session where attendees sat one-to-one with doctors for advice and also had their blood, sugar and pressure monitored with appropriate advice imparted. Feedback for the event was very positive. The MDA thanks all those who helped make this possible and for the many who took advantage of this opportunity.
