Set up 100-bed hospitals in all segments: Andhra Pradesh CM Naidu

VIJAYAWADA: Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday directed officials to ensure the strict implementation of the government's policy to establish a 100-bed hospital in every Assembly constituency, aiming to provide accessible and quality healthcare across Andhra Pradesh. During a review meeting with officials of the Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department at the Secretariat, the Chief Minister emphasised that government hospitals must be upgraded to the standards of private institutions, with special focus on healthcare access in tribal and underserved regions. Outlining the government's broader vision, Naidu said the State must prioritise public health through disease prevention and lifestyle awareness, rather than focusing solely on treatment. 'Medical expenses are fast becoming an unbearable burden for many families. Prevention is the only sustainable solution,' he said. He called for mass awareness campaigns to promote healthy food habits, pesticide-free organic produce, and lifestyle changes. Farmers and the general public must be sensitised through targeted education and actionable government plans, he added. A major announcement was the revival of the Yogadhyayana Parishad, a body that will promote traditional health systems such as yoga, naturopathy, Ayurveda, homoeopathy, and Unani medicine. A dedicated society will be created for this purpose, and staff will be recruited through the Medical Services Recruitment Board. Naidu stressed that yoga should become a daily habit and its benefits, including its role in promoting natural childbirth, must be widely publicised. He instructed officials to organise both online and offline yoga training sessions across the State. 'We already announced a Yoga Day declaration, but it must move beyond advertisements and into people's lives,' he said.

Line Investments & Property Malls in the UAE host wellness events for International Yoga Day 2025

Line Investments & Property SP LLC, the shopping mall division of Lulu International Holdings Limited (LIHL), successfully concluded a multi-mall activation in celebration of International Yoga Day 2025, bringing together communities across Dubai and the Northern Emirates for a day of wellness and connection under the theme 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health.' From sunrise stretches to evening celebrations, the campaign transformed five malls into buzzing wellness hubs. At Silicon Central and Sharjah Central, atriums came alive with guided yoga sessions led by certified instructors, drawing a diverse crowd of early risers, families, and fitness lovers alike. The event at Silicon Central was inaugurated by Ahmad Ibrahim Busherin, president of the UAE Yoga Committee, vice president of the Asian Yoga Federation, and head of events and sponsorships at Dubai Sports Council, further emphasising the initiative's alignment with national wellness priorities. These sessions also featured notable Emirati yoga instructors, including Mohammed Mostafa at Silicon Central and Mariam Altheraawi at Sharjah Central. Held in association with the Ministry of Sports – UAE, UFC Gym (Silicon Central Mal) and Gymnation (Sharjah Central Mall) - the activities reflected the government's holistic approach to promoting physical and mental wellbeing across the country. At RAK Mall, the momentum reached a new high with a dynamic wellness and musical evening that blended yoga, live music, and interactive dance, turning the space into a spirited celebration of mind, body, and soul. The event was held in partnership with the Indian People's Forum and welcomed 200 participants, with the support and presence of officials from the Consulate General of India, strengthening cultural ties and community engagement. At LuLu Mall Fujairah and Mall of UAQ, guests embraced the serenity of yoga sessions, reconnecting with nature and moments of mindfulness and guided movement. These tranquil gatherings provided the perfect contrast, inviting the community to slow down, breathe deeply, and find stillness amidst the energy. This series of activations echoes the UAE's national vision for 2025 as the Year of Community, reinforcing the role of collective wellness events in fostering stronger social cohesion and shared purpose. "International Yoga Day is an opportunity to align with our wider vision of building spaces that promote lifestyle, wellness, and social connection,' said Navaneeth Sudhakaran, general manager - Dubai and Northern Emirates, Line Investments & Property. "Our malls have increasingly become venues for meaningful engagement, and this initiative is a step forward in fostering healthier, more connected communities." The success of the campaign further underlines the growing relevance of experiential campaigns within the retail ecosystem, offering a differentiated value proposition for both tenants and visitors. As consumer expectations evolve, Line Investments & Property continues to invest in activations that enrich the customer journey and position its malls as integrated lifestyle destinations.
