Dr Dhaval Patel, consultant knee surgeon from the team of Dr KC Mehta from Apollo Hospital, addressed the participants at the session on December 27. The session was attended by Cadila Pharma employees across all age groups.

Addressing the session, Dr Patel emphasized on how the younger generation should make healthy living a part of their lifestyle for leading a long and healthy life.
