Save and Empower the Girl Child

Doctors of Lilavati Hospital are committed to protecting the Girl Child from deliberate harm and ensuring her well-being from conception to adulthood. As trusted advisors, they play a vital role in correcting misconceptions in society and shaping positive views for future generations.

On April 11, 2012, Lilavati Hospital and Research Centre (LHRC) launched its ambitious campaign, “Save and Empower the Girl Child,” at a mega event at JW Marriott, Mumbai. The initiative, led by LHRC doctors and coordinated by Ms. Poonam Dhillon, featured a spectacular fashion show by renowned Bollywood designer Mr. Manish Malhotra. Dignitaries from various fields graced the occasion to support this noble cause.

Leading Gynaecologist & IVF Expert, Dr. Hrishikesh Pai chaired the Organizing Committee, with Dr. Kiran Coelho as Convener, alongside Dr. Nandita Palshetkar, Dr. Rishma Pai, and Dr. Deepak Ugra.

Chief Guest Kajol shared, “My father never regretted not having a son.” She emphasized, “Children are God’s gift, and no one has the right to harm them. The country must stand up to save the girl child. Women are not less than men, and such thinking reflects an outdated, illiterate attitude.” She urged everyone to join the initiative, expressing her happiness in supporting the cause.

Tennis Player Leander Paes stated, “The best thing we can do for our children is to let them live their dreams, as my parents did for me.” He highlighted the significant roles of women in his life, including his wife Rhea and daughter, in his success.

Designer Manish Malhotra remarked, “A baby girl is one of life’s most beautiful miracles. This event is an opportunity to raise awareness. My show features not just celebrities but real people, including doctors and politicians, all united for this cause. I’m all for women’s empowerment.”

Event showstopper Sushmita Sen said, “I’m thrilled that Lilavati Hospital is championing this powerful initiative. God bless them. Despite strong laws in our country, their implementation is lacking. Given the chance, women prove themselves. It’s about having faith.” She expressed gratitude for the support and her honor in being part of the event.

A charitable occasion where eminent doctors of this country, who have always cared for this society gathered together to organise this function for under privileged children. Children are our future and we need to look after them and how wonderful it is to do something for those that cannot afford the luxury f good hospital s or afford the kind of money that is involved for treatment.
