“The diseases when occurred can take time to get cured and people have to go through a lot of pain and loss. So preventing it before it happens is always better. Thus we have started this campaign with a launch of Health Card so to spread this message of staying healthy & happy forever,” says Hirwani

Journalists being the most important part of our society they provide us with daily information and enlighten us about the matters of the society that are of utmost importance. Arranging this day for them gives us an opportunity to keep them healthy in return to their good contribution to society & work, said Dr. Mohinish Bhatjiwale , a senior neurosurgeon from Wockhardt Hospitals , Mira Road who also conducted lecture on “Stress Management & Indian Media” in the event.
