A lifelong commitment to crisis care: Dimple Arora gets National Florence Nightingale Award from President
New Delhi: "God has given me the opportunity to help people, and that is what I am doing to the best of my ability and want to continue with it even after my retirement," said Dimple Arora, a senior nursing officer at RML Hospital. Her dedication to healthcare and crisis response was honoured with the prestigious 2025 National Florence Nightingale Award, presented by President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Friday, recognising her 27 years of selfless service. Born in Punjab's Firozpur, Arora's journey into nursing began after earning her general nursing and midwifery (GNM) diploma. She joined RML Hospital in 1998, but her contributions extended far beyond the hospital's walls, marked by her fearless response to some of India's most devastating disasters. In 2004, she was deployed to Port Blair following the catastrophic Indian Ocean tsunami. With over 400 lives lost and 3,000 people missing in Campbell Bay and Car Nicobar, Arora provided critical medical aid amid chaos. She administered first aid under extreme conditions, supported psychological trauma care and worked tirelessly to stabilise the injured, offering not just medical assistance but hope to grieving families. Her commitment didn't wane in 2010 when Leh-Ladakh faced a deadly cloudburst, triggering flash floods and mudslides. Amid the rugged terrain and harsh conditions, Arora managed emergency medical camps, treated injuries from debris and flooding, and coordinated with rescue teams to ensure timely care for the victims. In 2008, after the Delhi bomb blasts, she was on special duty, managing emergency responses for the injured, ensuring swift triage, and supporting overburdened medical teams. The following year, during the 2009 swine flu pandemic, she was stationed at the Delhi airport, screening travellers from affected regions while also providing critical care at RML Hospital. Her frontline service continued during Covid-19 pandemic, where she navigated the unprecedented health crisis with resilience and compassion. Arora's passion for healthcare, however, extends beyond crisis response. Holding an MSc in psychology and pursuing an MBA in health management, she champions lifelong learning to adapt to evolving healthcare challenges. Her leadership skills shine in both mentorship roles and providing counselling support for HIV-affected people. Senior nursing officer Ligi Boban, who worked with Arora, praised her exceptional patient management and calmness under pressure. Mahima, another colleague, highlighted Arora's ability to maintain clarity and leadership during emergencies while remaining approachable and supportive. As Arora approaches retirement, her unwavering spirit to serve remains strong. Her journey reflects the profound impact of compassionate, courageous care amid some of the darkest moments in recent history.

Mother's Day special: Mother-daughter duos swap wardrobe and share their bond
Mothers play a pivotal role in shaping our lives. They are our real-life role models who inspire us every day. Their unconditional love and unwavering support can help us sail through the hardest of times. Even the greatest and the most powerful leaders owe it to their mothers for their success. On Mother's Day today, we feature mother and daughter duos from all walks of life, from a cultural revivalist to a physician and a social activist- the uber-cool mommies swapped their wardrobes with their daughters in a special shoot for us and struck a pose together. Social activist and educator Manisha Bhatia (47) posed with her 23-year-old daughter Saanvi, as the duo exchanged outfits—and emotions. While Manisha stepped into a blue jumpsuit from Saanvi's wardrobe, Saanvi glowed in her mother's elegant saree. 'You are my world,' says Manisha. 'I hope you feel the wonder of being me, as I glimpse the joy of being you. We swap more than clothes sometimes — we swap worlds to understand each other better.' Ahmedabad-based food consultant Sania Naqvi (33) remembers being in awe of her mother, 60-year-old educator Samina Naqvi, who co-founded Sanchaari, a cultural and literary society in Prayagraj. 'From my earliest memories, I've admired my mother in crisp cotton sarees. I borrowed one of her classic Gadwal sarees and tried to be more like her for a day,' shares Sania. Though the two couldn't shoot together, Sania posed in her mother's saree at home, while Samina embraced her daughter's go-to look—a denim-on-denim ensemble. 'My daughter lives in jeans—nothing too frilly or bright. It's all about comfort and cool,' laughs Samina. Dermatologist Dr Deepali Bhardwaj and her 70-plus mother, Dr Anjan Prakash Kaur, who retired as Additional Medical Superintendent at RML Hospital, struck a stylish pose in a shared frame. Deepali wore a checkered saree draped with an off-shoulder pallu. Her mother, wearing makeup for the first time in years, looked radiant in an Amit Aggarwal top borrowed from her daughter's wardrobe. 'This saree is a piece my mother often wore—it reminds me of her strength and grace,' says Deepali. 'It felt euphoric to wear her clothes and like déjà vu to my younger days,' adds Anjan. Dr Rita Bakshi (65), a Delhi-based infertility specialist with over three decades of experience, swapped closets with her 35-year-old daughter-in-law Arushi Bakshi, director at the Indian School of Business & Finance. For the shoot, Arushi wore an ivory sharara from Rita's wardrobe, while Rita stepped into a glamorous kaftan from Arushi's closet. 'She carries herself with such grace,' says Arushi.

Cooling the crisis: RML puts heat stroke on ice with spl unit
New Delhi: RML Hospital has operationalised its specialised heat stroke clinic ahead of the expected surge in the city's temperature this month. Last year, the hospital treated 70 heat stroke cases, with elderly individuals, security personnel, street vendors and construction workers being the most affected. Despite similar risks to pregnant women and young children, their numbers remained minimal during this period. Tragically, 20 cases proved fatal. As of now, the heat stroke clinic has not admitted any patients.

He also indicated that when humidity exceeds 75% and the mercury soars over 40 degrees Celsius, the body faces significant challenges in temperature regulation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scarlett Johansson, 40, Shows Off Her Real Size In A New Vacation Photos 33 Bridges Undo The facility is equipped for quick emergency response, containing two ceramic immersion tubs that hold 200-250 litres each, containing a mixture of 30% ice and 70% water. The proportion of ice to water can be adjusted, as the objective is to lower the water temperature to 1-5 degrees Celsius, referred to as ice-cold water. This method provides the quickest means of reducing a patient's body temperature. Dr Ajay Shukla, director and medical superintendent, ABVIMS and RML Hospital, explained that the cooling tubs are suitable for people measuring up to six feet in height and can reduce body temperature by 0.15 degrees Celsius every minute. The facility strives to provide immediate, critical care to reduce the dangerous effects of heat stroke. Dr Shukla said the hospital introduced a mobile heat stroke response unit as an innovative approach to pre-hospital care. They specifically outfitted an advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) ambulance with inflatable cooling tubs, tarpaulins, ice boxes, ORS solutions, intravenous fluids and necessary medicines. The mobile facility is equipped to provide crucial medical intervention at the location itself, ensuring quick treatment for those affected by heat-related conditions. Patients can receive cooling therapy during transport to the hospital, improving their recovery prospects. The ice-making machine produces 250kg daily, with each patient requiring 50kg of ice for treatment, ensuring continuous availability, said Dr Shukla. The facility contains two critical care beds equipped with ventilators and advanced multiparameter monitors for intensive care requirements to address various medical urgencies, along with other necessary amenities readily accessible. This setup ensures swift and efficient patient treatment, when required. Dr Yadav said portable inflatable tubs can be transported to hospital wards for patients who are too unstable to be moved to the heat stroke unit. He also cautioned against stepping outdoors between 12pm and 4pm. Heat stroke patients typically register body temperatures of 105 degrees Fahrenheit, necessitating cold water immersion for 20-25 minutes. This treatment, which covers a large portion of the body surface, aims to lower temperature to 100-101 degrees Fahrenheit. Delaying the cooling intervention substantially raises mortality risk.
