Doctors365 Bollywood Maha Arogya Shivir 2025 in Mumbai city

Mumbai, January 19, 2025

As I stepped onto the sprawling Chitrakoot Grounds in Andheri West this morning, the air was abuzz with activity. The fourth edition of the much-anticipated ‘Doctors365 Bollywood Maha Arogya Shivir’ was in full swing. Organized by Doctor 365, under the leadership of Chairman Dr. Dharmendra Kumar and actor-producer-director Dheeraj Kumar, this event has grown into a significant healthcare initiative for Mumbai’s Bollywood community.

The sun shone brightly over the sprawling grounds, where more than one lakh individuals—ranging from cine stars and technicians to spot boys, dancers, and daily wage earners—had gathered. The sheer scale of the event was a sight to behold. As I made my way through the camp by Doctors365, I was overwhelmed by the meticulously organized setups catering to a plethora of medical needs.

Doctors365 Comprehensive Health Services

The first station I visited was the registration desk, where patient walk-ins were efficiently recorded. Each individual received a proper Rx paper mentioning their ailments, ensuring seamless follow-up care. What stood out was the free distribution of most medicines, covering both allopathy and Ayurveda, to Bollywood members. This thoughtful initiative by Doctors365 ensured that everyone could leave with the necessary medication to manage their conditions.

Next, I made my way to the cardiac care unit. A team of skilled cardiologists from Doctors365 conducted free heart check-ups, including ECGs and stress tests. It was heartwarming to see Bollywood’s unsung heroes—the backstage workers—receiving medical attention they might otherwise not afford. Adjacent to this, the orthopedic station was abuzz with activity, offering consultations and treatments for joint and bone issues. Many workers, who endure physically demanding jobs, queued up for advice and relief from chronic ailments.

I then found myself at the dental care unit. Rows of dental chairs were occupied, as dentists performed free check-ups, extractions, and cleanings. The smiles of gratitude from the participants were infectious. Moving on, the eye care section provided free eye check-ups and distributed glasses to those in need. I witnessed several individuals, including elderly technicians, trying on their new spectacles with childlike joy.

Focus on Accessibility and Inclusivity by Doctors 365

The camp’s commitment to inclusivity was evident in its special provisions for differently-abled individuals. Free wheelchairs were distributed to those in need, and prosthetic limbs were provided to individuals with disabilities. It was an emotional moment to see hordes of paralysed, disabled and very elderly patients get free wheel chairs for their daily mobility.

The physiotherapy section was another popular spot, offering relief to those suffering from chronic pain and injuries. Experienced physiotherapists patiently worked with participants, teaching exercises and offering treatments. Adjacent to this was the chiropracty section, where practitioners skillfully addressed spinal and musculoskeletal issues.

Traditional and Alternative Medicine

One of the unique aspects of the camp was its integration of traditional and alternative medicine. The Ayurveda and Naturopathy sections were particularly popular, with attendees exploring natural remedies and lifestyle advice. Doctors from the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) sector distributed free health cards, enabling attendees to access long-term benefits under government schemes.

Homeopathy practitioners also had a dedicated section, where they provided consultations and remedies for chronic illnesses. The focus on holistic wellness was further emphasized by the presence of dieticians, who offered personalized advice on nutrition and healthy living.

Specialized Services for Women and Cancer Care

A dedicated women’s health section addressed issues ranging from reproductive health to hormonal imbalances by Doctors365. The presence of female doctors and specialists ensured a comfortable environment for women to discuss their health concerns openly.

The cancer care unit, operated by a team of oncologists of Doctors365, offered free screenings and consultations. Early detection and awareness campaigns were a significant focus, with volunteers educating attendees on the importance of regular check-ups. It was inspiring to see individuals take proactive steps toward their health.

Government Schemes and Initiatives

One of the highlights of the camp was its collaboration with government initiatives. Free health cards under various AYUSH and Shram Health Card schemes were distributed to attendees. These cards provide access to a range of health benefits, ensuring that the impact of the camp extends beyond a single day.

A Star-Studded Affair

While the focus of the event was on health and wellness, the presence of Bollywood celebrities added a touch of glamour. Actor Poonam Dhillon, musician Dilip Sen, and singer Madhushree were among the many stars who graced the event. Their involvement underscored the importance of this initiative for the film fraternity. Spiritual leader Sadhguru Dayal’s presence added a sense of calm and inspiration to the proceedings.

Dr. Dharmendra Kumar MD of Doctors365 and Dheeraj Kumar were the heart and soul of the event. Their speeches highlighted the mission and vision of Doctor 365. “What began as a solo mission is now a transformative movement,” said Dheeraj Kumar. “This health camp is a landmark initiative for the film industry, and we all wholeheartedly support it.”

Dr. Dharmendra Kumar shared impressive statistics, including over 1.9 crore free TB screenings and 5.56 crore patients served to date. He also announced ambitious plans to make Gujarat TB-free in the coming year. “This is not just a camp; it is a movement towards a healthier society,” he emphasized.

A Personal Reflection

As I concluded my visit, I couldn’t help but feel a great amount of admiration for the organizers and huge number of doctors & volunteers. The Doctors365 Bollywood Maha Arogya Shivir 2025 was more than just a health camp; it was a testament to the power of collective effort and compassion. For the Bollywood community, which often works behind the glitz and glamour, this initiative was a lifeline to look after their health & well being, all under one roof.

The smiles, the gratitude, and the hope I witnessed today will stay with me for a long time. The Doctors365 health camp’s success is a reminder that when people come together with a shared purpose, they can create meaningful change. I look forward to seeing how this initiative grows in the years to come, continuing to spread wellness.
