Three Weeks to Go: World Wellness Weekend Unites the Global Wellness Community for Its 10th Anniversary
More than 20 days to go as hotels, spas, fitness communities, destinations and wellness professionals across the world prepare for 18–20 September
Sept 10 — The 10th World Wellness Weekend (WWW) is entering its final countdown, bringing together wellness communities, hospitality groups, tourism organisations, fitness networks and local communities worldwide for a global celebration from 18–20 September 2026.
Marking its 10th anniversary, World Wellness Weekend continues to expand its international footprint, with new country programs, major hospitality partnerships and community initiatives being confirmed in the weeks leading up to the event.
From luxury resorts and thermal spas to public parks, fitness clubs, yoga studios and community organisations, this year’s program demonstrates that wellness is increasingly becoming a shared community experience rather than simply a luxury or individual pursuit.
A global celebration with strong local stories

Yoga for a Healthier Mind and Body: A Simple Habit for Stress, Fitness and Wellbeing
In a fast-moving world filled with work pressure, long hours in front of screens and little time to slow down, maintaining both mental and physical health can be a challenge. Yoga offers a simple way to bring movement, breathing and mindfulness into everyday life, helping people create a healthier balance between the mind and body.
Unlike workouts that focus mainly on physical strength, yoga combines body movements with controlled breathing and mental awareness. This combination can make the practice useful not only for staying active but also for managing everyday stress and improving overall wellbeing.
For many people, one of the biggest challenges of modern life is an overcrowded mind. Thoughts about work, family, finances and the future can continue long after the day is over. Yoga encourages people to concentrate on their breathing and movements, giving the mind an opportunity to step away from these constant distractions.
Breathing exercises and meditation can further support relaxation. By slowing the pace of breathing and paying attention to the present moment, people may find it easier to manage stress and develop a greater sense of calm. Research has found potential benefits of yoga for stress management, although the strength of evidence varies across studies.
The benefits may also extend to heart health. A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis involving 30 randomised controlled trials and more than 2,200 participants found that yoga was associated with reductions in blood pressure among people with prehypertension or hypertension. However, researchers rated the overall quality of evidence as very low, highlighting the need for larger and better-designed studies.
This means yoga can be a useful addition to a healthy lifestyle, but it should not be treated as a replacement for prescribed medicines or medical treatment. People with high blood pressure should continue to follow their doctor’s advice while using appropriate physical activity and stress-management practices as part of their overall care.
Yoga can also help people stay physically active without putting excessive strain on the body. Different poses work different muscle groups while improving flexibility, balance and body awareness. Regular practice can be particularly useful for people who spend much of their day sitting at a desk or working on computers.
Another advantage is that yoga does not necessarily require a gym or expensive equipment. A quiet space and a few minutes of regular practice can be enough to get started. Beginners can begin with gentle stretches and breathing exercises before gradually moving towards more challenging postures.
A simple daily routine could include a few minutes of gentle movement, followed by slow breathing and a short period of relaxation. The aim is not to perform complicated poses but to build a routine that feels comfortable and can be maintained consistently.
The growing popularity of yoga reflects a broader shift in the way people think about health. Staying fit is no longer only about physical exercise. Mental wellbeing, stress management, sleep, nutrition and regular movement all contribute to a healthier lifestyle.
Yoga brings several of these elements together. It gives the body a chance to move while giving the mind a chance to slow down.
Ultimately, yoga is not about achieving a perfect posture or completing an intense workout. Its real value lies in developing a regular habit of movement, breathing and awareness. For someone dealing with the pressures of everyday life, even a few quiet minutes on a yoga mat can become a meaningful step towards feeling healthier, calmer and more balanced.

Health Ministry Unveils SUMAN Roadmap 2030 to Accelerate Maternal and Newborn Care
The Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare convened a two-day national workshop in Lucknow on September 2–3 to advance the implementation of SUMAN Roadmap 2030, with the objective of accelerating progress towards zero preventable maternal and newborn deaths. Held under the chairpersonship of Smt. Aradhana Patnaik, Additional Secretary and Mission Director, National Health Mission, the workshop brought together more than 200 participants, including senior health officials from States and Union Territories, experts, academics, professional bodies and development partners.
Addressing the inaugural session, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Shri Brajesh Pathak stressed the importance of registering newly married couples as an early intervention to prevent unintended pregnancies and promote planned and healthy pregnancies. Smt. Patnaik said India has made considerable progress in reducing maternal mortality but highlighted the need for sustained efforts, particularly in States with high maternal mortality ratios and in vulnerable and hard-to-reach areas. She said the SUMAN roadmap places safety, dignity and quality healthcare at the centre of the maternal health journey.

The roadmap follows a life-course and continuum-of-care model, covering healthcare interventions from the pre-pregnancy stage through antenatal, delivery and postnatal care. Its strategy is divided into two components: one specifically targeting 13 high-focus States and 130 districts with a disproportionate burden of maternal and newborn deaths, and another covering all States and Union Territories to sustain progress towards Sustainable Development Goal targets. The workshop examined issues including high-risk pregnancies, postpartum haemorrhage, Caesarean-section services, community interventions, Birth Waiting Homes, digital health, grievance redressal and the impact of climate change on maternal health. Guidelines on Birth Waiting Homes, communication material and a video on SUMAN Roadmap 2030 were also launched.
The meeting also gave States an opportunity to present their priorities, implementation challenges and proposed solutions, while a Gallery Walk showcased field innovations from across the country, including maternal health interventions and digital initiatives. Representatives from WHO, UNFPA, UNICEF, Gates Foundation, Jhpiego, FOGSI, C3 and CIFF participated in the discussions and reiterated their support for the programme. Through technical sessions and group exercises, participants worked on practical solutions for high-risk pregnancy management, pre-pregnancy care, postpartum haemorrhage and Caesarean-section services. The Ministry said the deliberations would help translate the SUMAN Roadmap 2030 into measurable action and strengthen the national effort to eliminate preventable maternal and newborn deaths by 2030.

A Father’s Gift of Life: 55-Year-Old Father Donates Kidney to 22-Year-Old Daughter
Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road successfully performs Kidney Transplant, giving young woman a chance at a dialysis-free life

Mumbai|, Aug 31: In an emotional story of unconditional parental love, a 55-year-old father from Bhayandar donated one of his kidneys to his 22-year-old daughter after she was unexpectedly diagnosed with kidney failure. The transplant was successfully performed at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road, giving the young woman a new chance at a healthier, dialysis-free life.
Her kidney failure was discovered unexpectedly during a routine blood test. Further evaluation and sonography revealed small, shrunken kidneys. She was subsequently started on dialysis. To improve her long-term quality of life, the family decided to explore Kidney Transplantation. However, initially, no suitable donor was available within the family.
At this crucial moment, her father stepped forward to donate his kidney to his daughter. Although he had been newly diagnosed with diabetes, he was determined to become her donor. He underwent a comprehensive medical evaluation and detailed donor assessment at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road, and was found medically fit to undergo kidney donation.
The Kidney Transplant was successfully performed under the leadership of Dr. Puneet Bhuwania, Consultant Nephrologist and Transplant Physician, along with a multidisciplinary transplant team at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road. The transplant team included Dr. Jayesh Dhabalia, Consultant Transplant Surgeon; Dr. Pradeep Vyawahare, Consultant Urologist & Transplant Surgeon, Dr. Prakash Tejwani, Consultant Urologist & Transplant Surgeon and Dr. Ashutosh Baghel, Consultant Urologist, Andrologist and Renal Transplant Surgeon. The multidisciplinary team worked together to ensure surgical precision, coordinated transplant care, comprehensive donor evaluation and close postoperative management.
The post-transplant period was challenging and required close monitoring and multidisciplinary care. After approximately 15 days of treatment and observation, the young woman recovered well and was discharged in a healthy condition. She is now doing well and progressing towards a healthier life without dialysis.
Dr. Puneet Bhuwania, Consultant Nephrologist and Transplant Physician at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road, said: “A father donating his kidney to his daughter is a profound expression of love and courage. His recent diagnosis of diabetes made the donor evaluation particularly important. Our priority was to ensure that kidney donation was safe for him while giving his daughter the opportunity for a healthier future. We are happy that she has recovered well and is now living without dialysis.”
Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road has advanced facilities and multidisciplinary expertise for Kidney and Liver Transplantation, including comprehensive donor evaluation, transplant surgery and post-transplant care. For this family, the successful transplant is more than a medical milestone. It represents a father’s extraordinary gift of life—transforming a difficult diagnosis and the uncertainty of dialysis into renewed hope for his daughter’s future.

St. Mary’s Health System Deploys Canopy’s Wearable Safety Technology System-Wide to Enhance Employee Safety
138-year-old Maine health system equips all staff, across five locations in three communities, with discreet wearable duress buttons
LEWISTON, ME, UNITED STATES, Aug 28 –– Canopy, the leader in connected safety technology for healthcare, today announced a partnership with St. Mary’s Health System, a member of Covenant Health serving the Greater Lewiston-Auburn community since 1888, to deploy Canopy Protect across its entire health system. St. Mary’s is equipping every employee, clinical and non-clinical, with wearable duress buttons that can notify nearby colleagues and security, allowing staff to summon support quickly and discreetly.
The system-wide rollout, which went live August 19, spans a multi-city geographic footprint: St. Mary’s main campus in Lewiston, including d’Youville Pavilion and St. Mary’s Residences, two locations in Auburn, and its Poland location. Coverage extends beyond hospital walls to include parking areas, protecting staff as they walk to their vehicles at night. In total, the deployment covers 1,220 employees and 8 buildings.
“Listening to our staff and investing in technology that makes their work safer is part of how we continue to evolve,” said Jill Rollins, CNO/COO of St. Mary’s Health System. “Canopy gives every member of our team a simple, discreet way to call for support and adds another layer of safety across our health system.”
St. Mary’s decision to invest in Canopy grew out of the health system’s ongoing commitment to listening to its staff. Through culture-of-safety surveys, event reviews, and the work of its Workplace Violence Prevention Committee, which includes frontline nurses, emergency department staff, outpatient practice staff, and providers, a consistent need emerged: staff wanted a way to summon help quickly and discreetly, including on locked units where reaching a phone is not always possible. St. Mary’s rollout builds on Covenant Health’s existing experience with Canopy, which is already in use on specific units at two sister hospitals within the health system.
Workplace violence remains one of healthcare’s most pressing challenges nationwide, and most tools available to health systems, including policies, training, and response protocols, focus on the moment violence occurs or its aftermath. Canopy Protect addresses the critical window before that point. With a discreet double-press of a wearable button, a staff member can call a colleague to check in on them before a situation escalates, enabling pre-escalation intervention that complements the training, education, and response protocols St. Mary’s already has in place.
“Healthcare workers and frontline staff deserve to feel safe every time they step on campus, and we’re proud to partner with organizations like St. Mary’s that are making workplace safety a priority for every single employee,” said Shan Sinha, CEO and founder of Canopy. “A health system that has served its community for nearly 140 years choosing to protect its entire workforce, across every campus, every role, and every shift, sends a powerful message. We’re excited to work alongside their team to create a safer environment for caregivers so they can stay focused on what matters most: delivering exceptional patient care.”
Members of St. Mary’s Workplace Violence Prevention Committee, including emergency department staff, outpatient providers, and other frontline team members, previewed the technology ahead of launch and have been enthusiastic advocates for the rollout. On go-live day, St. Mary’s and Canopy teams distributed buttons at morning huddles across the system, with leadership on-site to celebrate the launch alongside staff.

Indian Railways Launches Special Drive to Ensure Safe Drinking Water at Stations
Indian Railways has launched a special cleanliness and disinfection drive across its network to strengthen the safety and hygiene of drinking-water facilities and ensure passengers have access to clean and potable water at railway stations.
As part of the initiative, Zonal Railways will inspect and maintain the complete drinking-water supply chain, including water sources, treatment plants, filtration systems, underground and overhead tanks, water booths, taps and dispensing points. The focus is on preventive maintenance and regular water-quality monitoring rather than relying only on testing at the final point of supply.
During the drive, drinking-water tanks will be drained, desludged, scrubbed and disinfected. Railway authorities will also check tank covers, vents and overflow points to prevent contamination by birds, animals and algae. Damaged tanks, pipelines and filters will be repaired or replaced wherever necessary.
The inspection will also focus on preventing cross-connections between potable and non-potable water systems. Pipelines forming part of the drinking-water network will be checked for leakages, with corrective measures taken to prevent contamination as well as unnecessary water loss.
Special attention will be given to drinking-water facilities dependent on hand pumps and borewells. Zonal Railways will verify that water drawn from these sources remains free from contamination and meets the requirements for safe potable use.
The Railway Board has also directed comprehensive inspections of water coolers and purification systems. Cooler tanks will be cleaned, while leakages in coolers, pipelines and taps will be repaired promptly. UV and RO purification systems will be checked for proper functioning, with servicing, filter replacement and overhauling undertaken wherever required.
The same hygiene and quality-control measures will be extended to Water Vending Machines. Railway authorities will conduct physical, chemical and bacteriological testing of water samples from selected sources, treatment outlets, tanks, coolers, vending machines and drinking-water taps or booths. Daily residual-chlorine monitoring will also be carried out, with re-chlorination or other corrective action wherever necessary.
The Railway Board has further asked Zonal Railways to expedite sanctioned projects for replacing old overhead and underground tanks and constructing new ones. Station-wise deficiencies identified during the special drive will be recorded along with corrective action taken, enabling closer monitoring and time-bound resolution.
The action plan also covers drinking-water infrastructure in Railway colonies and workplaces. Through regular inspection, cleaning, disinfection, infrastructure upgrades and systematic water-quality testing, Indian Railways aims to strengthen its drinking-water management system and ensure safe, clean and hygienic water for both passengers and railway personnel.

Resolve 360 Secures Patent for Innovative Rehabilitation Technology Targeting Neuromuscular and Musculoskeletal Disorders
Aug 18: Resolve360 is a physical medicine and rehabilitation company that provides evidence-based, personalized rehabilitation programs for individuals suffering from neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders. Resolve360 has been granted an Indian patent for its proprietary rehabilitation methodology, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of physical medicine and rehabilitation. The patented methodology introduces a structured, evidence-based framework for treating neuromuscular and musculoskeletal (NMSK) disorders, covering the entire patient journey from prognosis and personalized protocol creation to treatment delivery, monitoring, and long-term recovery. The patent, titled “System and Method for Prognosis, Protocol Creation, Delivery & Execution for Neuromuscular and Musculoskeletal Disorders,” was granted by the Patent Office, Government of India in July 2026.
The methodology is the outcome of nearly a decade of clinical learning. The concept was first envisioned in 2016, with Resolve360 being founded in 2019 to develop and refine the approach through continuous clinical practice. After years of research, patient feedback, and protocol optimization, the company filed its patent application in 2024, receiving the grant in 2026. During this journey, Resolve360 has treated over thousands of patients and delivered 20+ lakh rehabilitation sessions, helping validate and strengthen the effectiveness of the methodology across a wide range of neuromuscular and musculoskeletal conditions.
Unlike conventional rehabilitation approaches that often focus on temporary pain relief, Resolve360’s methodology is designed to identify not only the primary root cause of a patient’s condition but also the interconnected underlying factors contributing to it. The methodology develops a comprehensive prognosis that addresses both the affected area and related musculoskeletal and neuromuscular regions, enabling a customized treatment pathway tailored to the patient’s overall clinical needs.

Dr. Apoorva Shrivastava, CEO and Founder Resolve360 and Shivam Gupta, Co-Founder, Resolve360
The innovation comes at a time when neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders are emerging as one of the fastest-growing health challenges globally. Sedentary lifestyles, prolonged screen time, and technology-driven routines have led to a sharp rise in chronic pain, muscle dysfunction, spinal disorders, ligament injuries, and mobility issues even among younger populations. As these conditions continue to increase, the need for scientifically designed, personalized rehabilitation has never been greater.
While physiotherapy became significantly more accessible through online consultations following the pandemic, rehabilitation practices remain largely fragmented. Many existing approaches continue to rely on generalized exercise plans or symptom-based pain management, often without standardized protocols for diagnosis, treatment execution, adherence, or long-term monitoring. More importantly, rehabilitation is often approached as an afterthought in the continuum of care rather than as a proven, structured treatment methodology in itself. Resolve360’s patented methodology seeks to address this gap by bringing structure, consistency, and clinical rigor to rehabilitation, transforming it from a reactive service into a comprehensive, protocol-driven treatment methodology.
Through its proprietary core clinical process flow and Seamless App, Resolve360 also delivers rehabilitation sessions to patients across geographies, enabling members of the Indian diaspora to access expert-led care remotely. The platform currently serves patients in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, the UAE, and other Gulf countries, extending evidence-based rehabilitation to individuals seeking personalized and continuous care regardless of location.

Commenting on the achievement, Dr. Apoorva Shrivastava, CEO Resolve360 and Inventor of the patented methodology, said:
“Every era faces its own health epidemic, and today’s epidemic is neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders driven by sedentary lifestyles and technology-centric living. Despite advances in healthcare, rehabilitation continues to lack standardized treatment methodologies that ensure consistent outcomes. This patent represents years of clinical learning brought together into a structured rehabilitation framework that focuses on identifying the root cause, delivering customized physical medicine in the right dosage, and guiding patients through complete recovery rather than temporary pain relief. Our vision is to establish physical medicine as a science-led discipline capable of delivering measurable, long-term outcomes.”
Looking ahead, Resolve360 is also building AI capabilities to support the future of rehabilitation. As the burden of musculoskeletal disorders continues to grow, the company believes that delivering personalized rehabilitation entirely through manual processes will become increasingly challenging. Its AI initiatives are therefore being developed to complement the patented methodology, helping clinicians enhance treatment personalization, monitoring, and clinical decision-making while preserving expert-led patient care.
The company’s growth has also been strengthened through seed funding from Kalaari Capital (investment amount undisclosed), which will support Resolve360’s expansion and its continued investment in research, technology, and innovation to make evidence-based rehabilitation more accessible and scalable.
