Dr. H. Sudarshan Ballal, Chairman, Manipal Hospitals said, “We have a large number of hospitals in different parts of the city that could connect the dots in the shape of a kidney. And what better form of awareness event could be other than a Cyclothon to promote kidney health? People like celebrities and influencers are ideal to create more awareness and this would be one such event where people from all domains could participate together for this noble initiative.

At Manipal Hospitals, we take great pride to host Cyclothon 2.0 at a bigger level this year, aiming to make a lasting impact for a better and healthy future for the current and coming generations.”
