Thirty five doctors from Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) are on a cycle jatha to Bengaluru to attend the ‘World Congress of Cosmetic Dermatology’ to be held on May 4.
As part of the jatha, they will create awareness among people about sexually transmitted diseases, leprosy and allergies.
The jatha began from the Palace premises in Mysuru with Deputy Commissioner D Randeep flagging off the rally. The team will distribute handbills and tell people not to neglect skin diseases.
The team of doctors who left Mandya reached Mysuru at 9 am and left the city after breakfast.
Dermatologist Dr Nagendra Patvardhan said the team will halt briefly at various points on the route and will explain about the diseases and the corresponding treatment.
