Chennai, 10th January, 2024: Prashanth Hospitals, one of Chennai’s leading super-speciality hospitals, took a significant step towards promoting road safety by organizing a comprehensive 3-day public awareness campaign aimed at benefiting the local community. The initiative, designed to foster a safer environment and prevent accidents, witnessed the active participation of nearly 200 individuals in an energetic 5 km walkathon commencing from and ending at Prashanth Hospitals – Velachery. The 5km walkathon was ceremoniously flagged off by Dr. Prashanth Krishna, Managing Director of Prashanth Hospitals, and Dr. Baskaran- CEO of Prashanth Hospitals. The walkathon served as a platform to disseminate important road safety messages. The event brought together healthcare professionals, students, and other community members, emphasizing the collaborative effort to instil responsible driving practices and reduce distractions, thereby preventing accidents, injuries, and life-threatening conditions resulting from road mishaps. Simultaneously, volunteers carried creatively designed banners and placards displaying innovative road safety messages at key traffic junctions in and around Velachery for three consecutive days, further enhancing the impact of the campaign.

Commenting on the pivotal initiative, Dr. Prashanth Krishna, Managing Director of Prashanth Hospitals, “By emphasizing the significance of this Road Safety Awareness campaign, we highlight the simplicity of the concept with profound implications. Reckless driving and traffic rule violations can result in severe consequences, leading to life-altering conditions such as complex orthopaedic or neurological issues post-accidents. Our commitment to community well-being extends beyond healthcare, and through this campaign, we are sure to achieve our set goal in raising awareness and fostering responsible road behaviour among individuals.”
