PGI Chandigarh targets new record on International Yoga Day
PGIMER
Chandigarh: The Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh, is set to break its own record for the highest number of participants practising the common yoga protocol on June 21.
Last year, the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) set a record with the participation of 1,924 healthcare workers in a yoga event, which was officially recognised by the Asia Book of Records.
The PGIMER Yoga centre has been conducting 45-minute yoga sessions for patient’s caregivers, daily, since June 1 as a pre-celebration.
According to an IANS report, however, yoga for caregivers is a routine activity which is conducted twice a week at the PGIMER. Additionally, a yoga summer camp for children is currently being held. Director PGIMER Prof Vivek Lal said, “I appeal to healthcare workers of tricity to join PGI’s Yoga Day celebration on June 21 as it brings team spirit necessary for quality delivery of clinical services.”
