Speaking on the occasion Dr. Manish Rai, Hospsital Director, Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bengaluru, said, “ This Republic Day, we at Manipal Hospitals have focused on the importance of women’s health. Women always tend to ignore their health concerns, while keeping the welfare of their family as their first priority. We would like to emphasise that women are the biggest source of power to families. We at Manipal Hospitals, are delighted to honour the icons and their unwavering spirit on the occasion of this Republic Day.”
“Women are an important pillar of the family and the community. Families and institutions must make it possible for women to come forward to make decisions that affect their overall health. Women must be encouraged to take of their health, so that that they are able to utilise their full potential and contribute to their own well being and that of their loved ones. I am delighted that Manipal Hospitals is taking a step toward that and identifying the health concerns of these women,” said Ms. Brinda Adige Founder and Mentor – Global Concerns India and Women Rights Activist
