From Mental Strength to Health, Apollo Medics' 'Rise Above' Session Focused on Improving Life
Just as mental strength is essential to face life's challenges, physical health is equally important. With this understanding, Apollo Medics Super Specialty Hospital, organized the session titled ‘Rise Above: A Dialogue on Inner Strength.’ Spiritual guide and speaker Sister BK Shivani shared her insights on inner strength, positive thinking, and emotional balance. The event also featured Dr. Mayank Somani, MD and CEO of Apollo Medics, and Dr. Harit Chaturvedi, CEO and Clinical Head of the Oncology Network at Apollo Hospitals Group, who discussed important health topics such as thyroid issues, ICU care, and cancer. The event was organized by Apollo Medics Super Specialty Hospital, Lucknow, with participation from FICCI Ladies Organization (FICCI FLO) Lucknow Chairperson Simran Sahni and the executive committee.
On this occasion, Sister BK Shivani said, "Life's circumstances may not always be favorable, but it is within our control to keep our mind calm and move forward with the right outlook in every situation. When we learn to understand our thoughts and emotions, we face difficult circumstances with more patience and confidence. True strength lies not only in changing external conditions but also in developing inner stability that inspires us to overcome every challenge."
Dr. Mayank Somani, MD & CEO of Apollo Medics, highlighted the importance of timely diagnosis of thyroid problems, regular health check-ups, and care for critically ill patients. He said, “Many people do not take health problems seriously until they start affecting daily life. In thyroid problems, timely investigation and appropriate treatment are essential. In the care of critically ill patients, ICUs play a crucial role where a team of specialists continuously monitors the patient's condition and provides immediate treatment as needed. Timely and proper medical care can prove vital for the patient.”
Dr. Harit Chaturvedi emphasized the need for cancer awareness and timely screening. He said, “In cancer treatment, identifying the disease, its type, and stage is crucial. Early detection helps in making the right decisions about treatment options. Any unusual changes or persistent symptoms in the body should not be ignored. Consulting a specialist when necessary is important.”
FICCI FLO Lucknow Chairperson Simran Sahni said, “Such events provide people an opportunity to view life's challenges from a new perspective and recognize their inner strength. Discussions combining spiritual insights with important health topics also help raise awareness among people. Our effort is that such dialogues make people more alert about their life and health.”
The program also focused on the connection between mental strength and health. The session aimed to inspire people to face life's challenges and increase awareness about health-related issues.
