To recognise the significant contributions made by nurses, they were rewarded with gold coins. Also, a session on Ergonomics, Stress Management was arranged for the nurses. An active participation from nursing staff was observed during the celebration that took place across all facilities of Wockhardt Hospitals: Vashi, Mira Road, Rajkot, Nagpur, Nashik, and Surat.  Wockhardt Hospitals Ltd. is one of the few professionally managed corporate hospital groups in the country which put patient safety and quality of care at the core of its strategy.
