The event was led by Mr Jelson Kavalakkat, Head of Administration, Fortis Hospital, Mohali along with the enthusiastic support from doctors, nurses and hospital staff.

Fortis Mohali maintains one rotary in Chandigarh, along with the green belt adjoining to the hospital, as part of its CSR programme.

Speaking at the event, Dr GBS Kang, Medical Superintendent, Fortis Hospital, Mohali said, “While we ensure best practices and hygiene inside the hospital, it is important to spread the word in our periphery.
