Belagavi
Dr Sathe’s Aarogya Mitra Foundation has launched a 78-day fitness challenge for doctors. The activities under the 78-day challenge have been crafted for doctors, keeping their well-being in mind. On the day of the conclusion of the challenge, the Foundation has planned a ‘Mega Health Mela’ on September 29.
Addressing a press conference, Dr Varsha Sathe, coordinator of the Foundation, briefed about the event.
We are expecting the participation of around 200 doctors. In this challenge, the doctors are supposed to track their walking, running and cycling etc. through their cell phones. Points will be given based on their efforts. We have developed a separate mobile application to record the physical activities of doctors, she said.
This is the first time such an initiative has been taken up in Belagavi city for the well-being of doctors, who struggle for long hours at work and face emotional and physical exhaustion. Doctors dedicate themselves to healing people at the cost of their health. Doctors skip meals, sacrifice sleep and neglect exercise. It is high time our doctors took care of their health too, Dr Varsha said.
She added that the ‘Mega Health Mela’ will bring together a variety of health related activities and resources under one roof, offering attendees a unique opportunity to engage in holistic health practices and gain valuable health information. Rajendra Belgaonkar, the member of the Dr Sathe’s Arogya Mitra Foundation was present.
