ENT surgeons will examine senior citizens above 50 years free of charge, and hearing-impaired senior citizens will be provided hearing aids at concessional rates, from 9 am to 1 p.m. Arrangements have also been made for free general check-up for poor and needy senior citizens on the same day.

The National Day for the Deaf is held to create awareness about prevention, detection and management of deafness in society. Since '99 is the International Year of the Elderly, special preferences will be given to senior citizens above 50 years.
