Mumbai: One of the indicators of a nation's development is its citizens' health, and the last few years have put the most powerful nations and their people to the test. During these trying times, healthcare professionals have gone above and beyond their call of duty to save lives. News18 Gujarati believes in bringing light to stories and accomplishments of such medical professionals that have set examples in the past, and carry the potential to script a bright future in the health sector. Keeping the same spirit at head, News18 Gujarati hosted the Health Care Awards ceremony on 11 March in Ahmedabad to recognise and honour 26 senior doctors for their work in the healthcare sector.

Gujarat health minister Rushikesh Patel, graced the event as the chief guest and presented trophies and certificates to the honoured doctors. He appreciated News18 Gujarati for hosting such an event and acknowledging the hardwork by the doctors of Gujarat. The doctors were selected by a jury of the editor of News18 Gujarati and senior executives from Finecure Pharmaceutical. The awards ceremony was a success, with Finecure Pharmaceutical serving as the health partner and State Bank of India as the Powered By sponsor.

During the event, there was also a panel discussion, featuring three senior doctors who shared their perspective on various diseases such as cancer and viral-related diseases. The Health Care Awards ceremony will be broadcasted on News18 Gujarati on 19 March. The event was a significant milestone in recognizing and appreciating the contributions made by the medical professionals in Gujarat.
