Pune Hospitals Spread Diwali Joy to Patients
8 Nov
Summary
- Hospitals decorated with lights and diyas for Diwali.
- Patients undergoing elective procedures use holidays for recovery.
- Staff distribute Diwali faral and include relatives in festivities.
Hospitals in Pune are ensuring that patients spending Diwali in wards and ICUs experience the festive spirit. Medical facilities are decorated with lights and diyas, creating a cheerful environment. Doctors and staff distribute Diwali faral (traditional sweets and snacks) to relatives of patients.
Some patients must remain hospitalized due to their medical conditions, with hospitals respecting their privacy and offering permitted festive treats. Conversely, others opt for elective surgeries during this period, taking advantage of family availability for post-operative care.
Examples include joint replacements and hernia repairs, often with short recovery times. Staff go the extra mile, like ensuring a patient could go home for Diwali after emergency surgery, highlighting the profound impact of timely care. For those with longer stays, relatives are included in hospital pujas and festivities, fostering a sense of togetherness.
