City hospital organises movie screening for Thalassemia warriors

Apollo Speciality Hospitals in Teynampet recently hosted a special movie screening for approximately 100 young Thalassemia patients and their families. The event showcased the Spider-Man: Brand New Day film at Kamala Cinemas. The hospital chose this particular movie for its themes of courage, hope, and resilience, qualities that resonate with the patients' battles with the blood disorder.

Senior Pediatric and Hematology-Onco Consultant Revathi Raj explained that the goal was to allow the young patients to momentarily forget their hospital environment, laugh freely, and essentially be children again. Dr. Ramya U., who specializes in Pediatric Hematology at the hospital, emphasized that these patients demonstrate extraordinary courage and that the screening is meant to celebrate their childhood, dreams, and happiness.
