The session was an eye-opener for many as they started breaking down realizing their guilt and geared up to start over a new healthy life.
Addressing the dimension of societal well-being, team of doctors and employees of the hospital spent quality time with mentally and physically challenged inmates of Missionary of Charity and Cheshire Home, Jamshedpur. They also provided free health check up and consultation to these inmates.
