It is heartening to witness the spirit of sportsmanship at the 1st Inter-Collegiate Staff Badminton Tournament for teaching and non-teaching staff of colleges affiliated with Goa University, held at the Indoor Sports Complex, Ponda, for the academic year 2024-25. Organized by the Department of Physical Education & Sports of Ponda Education Society, the event was graced by the presence of Dr. Shivanand Bandekar, the Dean of @GoaGmc, further adding to the enthusiasm and motivation of all participants. Such initiatives promote fitness and well-being among staff members while fostering a culture of camaraderie and teamwork beyond the classroom, inspiring others to embrace sports for a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

I am delighted to share the remarkable recovery journey of Ajay Khandeparkar, who, despite facing a challenging and unexplained neurological leg pain, discovered renewed hope through the exceptional care provided by Goa Medical College. The success of Ajay's recovery is a testament to #TheGoaModel of healthcare, offering world-class services surpassing even some private hospitals. The state-of-the-art neurology department at @GoaGmc, equipped with cutting-edge machinery unparalleled in the country, and staffed by capable and intelligent doctors, played a pivotal role in identifying and addressing the root cause of Ajay's pain. Throughout his recovery, the hospital staff demonstrated unwavering support and dedication. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to GMC for consistently delivering exceptional care and assisting every patient on their path to recovery.

In collaboration with @GoaGmc and 108 ambulances, the @DHS_Goa introduced a comprehensive CPR training program. Empowering individuals with life-saving skills is crucial. Let's work together to ensure a safer and healthier community. #TheGoaModel
