Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Aashish Chaudhry, Managing Director, Aakash Healthcare, said, “Healthcare is not just about treating illness; it is also about taking responsibility for the well-being of the community we serve. We believe that giving back to society is an integral part of our purpose. Through the Nanak Charitable OPD, we aim to make essential eye care and general physician consultations more accessible and encourage people to seek medical attention in a timely manner.”
Emphasising the importance of timely eye care, Dr. Prashaant Chaudhry, Senior Consultant – Ophthalmology, Aakash Healthcare, said, “Regular eye check-ups and timely treatment are essential to preserving vision. Through this initiative, we hope to make eye care more accessible and encourage people to seek help before vision problems affect their daily lives.”
Highlighting the role of primary healthcare, Dr. Sahil Kapoor, Senior Consultant – Family Medicine and Wellness Expert, Aakash Healthcare, said, “Affordable access to a general physician can help people address health concerns early rather than wait for symptoms to worsen. We hope this initiative encourages timely consultations and better everyday health management.”
Dr. J.C. Chaudhry, Chairman Emeritus, AHPL Group, said, “Accessible healthcare is fundamental to building a healthier society. Initiatives like the Nanak Charitable OPD reflect the importance of extending care beyond hospital walls and reaching people at the community level. I commend this effort to make essential medical services more accessible and encourage a culture of care, compassion and social responsibility.”
Shri Pawan Rathi, Chief Guest, said, “Community welfare begins with addressing the everyday needs of people, and healthcare is among the most important of these.
