WOKHA — Dr. Motsuo Memorial District Hospital (DMMDH), Wokha, commemorated one year of its Sunday service initiative with a thanksgiving service held at the hospital’s chapel hall on Sunday.
Launched in 2024, the Sunday service was introduced to provide hospital staff — many of whom remain on duty even on Sundays — an opportunity to worship and seek spiritual strength within the hospital premises.
Addressing the gathering, Medical Superintendent Dr. N Mhonchan Kithan said the initiative was envisioned to help employees attend worship services and pray for their patients, and also to uplift their moral and spiritual well-being.
He expressed gratitude to God and underscored the importance of thanksgiving, stating that it not only nurtures spiritual growth but also contributes to physical and mental health by reducing stress and blood pressure.
