Wockhardt Hospitals Spreads Christmas Cheer to the Underprivileged with ‘Be a Santa’ Initiative

Embodying the true spirit of Christmas and social responsibility, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road celebrated the festive season with the underprivileged through its ‘Be a Santa’ initiative. The event was dedicated to spreading joy and goodwill to those in need, reaching out to various communities and making the season brighter for those who needed it most.

Christmas is a time for coming together and celebrating good health. This serves as a reminder to prioritize our well-being and cherish the gift of good health. As a part of the Be a Santa initiative, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road hosted a lively Fun Fair where staff members operated 8 to 10 stalls and offered homemade treats for sale. The proceeds from the event were then given to the Ashray Akruti Foundation, an NGO dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, a week-long donation drive resulted in a collection of groceries that were also donated to those in need. The event also featured moments of reflection and blessings, creating a sense of community and belonging for everyone involved.

"At Wockhardt Hospitals, we believe in the power of compassion and kindness, particularly during the festive season. Our ‘Be a Santa’ initiative allows us to share the joy of Christmas with those who are often forgotten. It serves as a reminder that the true essence of this time of year lies in the spirit of giving," said Ms. Zahabiya Khorakiwala, Managing Director of Wockhardt Hospitals.

We are proud to be able to give back to the community in this meaningful way. Christmas is about spreading love and happiness, and by reaching out to the underprivileged, we hope to make their day a little brighter. This is just one of many initiatives that we continue to undertake to support those in need,” stated Dr. Pankaj Dhamija, Centre Head, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road.

 Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road commitment to social responsibility remains strong, and initiatives like ‘Be a Santa’ help to strengthen the bonds between the organization and the communities it serves, making a positive impact in the lives of the underprivileged.

I express my gratitude to the Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road for organizing such meaningful events and programs that in return can provide for our children in NGO. We look forward to being a part of many such interesting initiatives conducted by Wockhardt Hospitals,” Akshay Akruti foundation quote.
