The campaign to raise awareness against high salt consumption by Indians and its adverse effect on kidneys, #EkChammachKam was supported by Sri Sri Ravishankar, Religious Leader and filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
Speaking about Ravishankar joining the campaign, Dr Bhavesh Vora, Senior Nephrologist said, “ Sri Sri Ravishankar was very excited to know about the Ek Chammach Kum Campaign and readily agreed to take it to masses.” Mehra also readily agreed to join the campaign via Facebook.
Expressing his support, Mehra said, “#EkChammachKam of salt intake is simple and self-explanatory. It is well known that too much sodium in a person’s diet can be harmful. It causes blood to hold fluid, and this in turn raises blood pressure and puts a strain on the heart as well.”

Dr.Ramakanta Panda of Asian Heart Institute, Jalaj Dani CEO Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital, Dr Ramen Goel, Director of Bariatric and metabolic surgery at Wockhardt hospitals Dr Ravindra Karanjekar, Corporate CEO, Jupiter Hospital, and several other senior members of the medical fraternity have lent support to the campaign.
