Gangtok, 17th June 2026: The 10-Bedded AYUSH Hospital, Gangtok, under the Department of AYUSH, Government of Sikkim, has initiated “Wellness Wednesday,” a weekly programme aimed at promoting holistic health and workplace well-being.
The initiative will be observed every Wednesday and will feature activities such as Yoga and Pranayama, Meditation, Laughter Therapy, Prayer and Chanting, along with interactive sessions on stress management and healthy lifestyle practices.
It is pertinent to highlight that healthcare professionals often work under demanding conditions and do not have regular opportunities for relaxation, rejuvenation, and self-care. The programme seeks to create a positive work environment, reduce stress, improve morale, and encourage preventive healthcare.
The initiative is expected to serve as a model wellness programme. In the coming days, “Wellness Wednesday” will be extended to other Standalone AYUSH Hospitals and AYUSH Collocation Centres across the State.
This weekly wellness initiative embraces the principles of AYUSH for a healthier and happier life.
