In November 2016, Radiant Superspeciality Hospital embarked on its mission to raise awareness about epilepsy, marking its inaugural event during the Epilepsy Awareness Month. This event was not only a milestone for the hospital, which had opened its doors in April 2016, but also a significant contribution to community health education.
The Event: Cyclothon 2016
The hospital organized a Cyclothon, a spirited 10-kilometer cycling event, which saw enthusiastic participation from nearly 220 doctors and support staff. The route was meticulously planned to ensure safety and maximum visibility, culminating at the Radiant Superspeciality Hospital itself.
Raising Awareness
The primary objective of the Cyclothon was to foster awareness about epilepsy—a neurological disorder that affects millions worldwide but remains shrouded in misconceptions. By engaging healthcare professionals and the community in this active event, the hospital aimed to highlight the importance of understanding and supporting those living with epilepsy.
A Moment to Educate
At the conclusion of the Cyclothon, participants gathered at the hospital for an enlightening talk by Dr. Sikandar Adwani, a renowned expert in the field. Dr. Adwani's address focused on demystifying epilepsy, discussing its causes, symptoms, and the importance of timely intervention and support. His insights provided valuable knowledge, not only to the medical professionals present but also to the broader community, empowering them with information to combat stigma and promote empathy.
Impact and Legacy
This inaugural event set the stage for Radiant Superspeciality Hospital's ongoing commitment to health education and community engagement. The success of the Cyclothon demonstrated the power of collective action and education in addressing public health challenges.
