The health of its citizens is one of the strongest markers of a nation’s development, and the past couple of years have tested the mettle of the most powerful nations and its people. And through these trying times, it has been healthcare professionals who have gone above and beyond their call of duty to save lives. To honour the contribution of the healthcare fraternity and acknowledge their inspirational efforts in keeping the citizens of this country safe, News18 Kannada is all set to host the News18 Kannada Amrith Noni Healthcare Awards 2022. The grand event will be held on 26th June 2022 at Conrad Hotel, Bengaluru.
The awards received a significant response across different categories after a high-decibel communication campaign that invited nominations from the state. Each of these categories are representative of the entire gamut on which the healthcare platform rests including the support staff, services that aid the healthcare system, non-government enterprises and alternative medicine that have worked tirelessly to ensure reach into the underserved communities.
