The magazine organised the conclave in collaboration with Association of Healthcare Providers (India) and Consortium of Accredited Hospitals Organization.

Double Helical is a leading national health magazine brought out from New Delhi by a team of experienced journalists.

The publication is committed to imparting awareness about health issues among the masses and advocating the availability of affordable world-class health services to all strata of society.

To achieve this end, the organisation gives away national and regional health awards to deserving doctors, institutions, and healthcare professionals every year to encourage them to do quality work and strive for realizing the goal of health for all.

Since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020, SHRI has been working relentlessly to reduce COVID-19 and save human lives.

The hospital has 144 beds (including 60 ICU beds) earmarked for COVID patients and over 71 thousand COVID tests have been conducted, with 2835 patients treated thus far.

While the threat of catching the disease and infecting their loved ones looms large over many and pushes them to refrain from taking on the responsibilities, the entire team of Shija put up a valiant fight round the clock to turn the tide, SHRI said in a press release, adding that Association of Healthcare Providers (AHPI) in India recently named SHRI the 'Best Hospital to Work for' .
