FOGSI, Unicef launch 'Aarogya Yog Yatra'

Tirupati: Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI), India’s largest professional organisation representing more than 46,000 practitioners of obstetrics and gynecology, in collaboration with Unicef has launched ‘Aarogya Yog Yatra’, a groundbreaking campaign on the holistic wellness of mothers and babies in India.

Dr Sunita Tandulwadkar, president of FOGSI, inaugurated the transformative campaign in the spiritual hub of Tirupati.

The year-long national initiative, which will traverse 13 of India’s most spiritually significant locations, aims to integrate spirituality into medicine and inspire a proactive approach to health among women and doctors.

Addressing the audience, Dr Sunita said: “This one-of-its-kind campaign in the world is of great significance as our country has the oldest spiritual traditions in the world. In my 34 years of experience as a doctor, it is spirituality that enabled me to deliver my best every single day."

She said it connects us with the universe’s energy, guiding us to heal holistically. The yatra is a way of sharing this realisation with all FOGSI members and the larger community.
