The hospital also operates free health check-up camps and collaborates with NGOs to promote holistic development in communities.
Dr. Gupta emphasizes the importance of work-life balance, scheduling, and time management for women. She champions the notion that women are not inferior to men and highlights their achievements across various domains, encouraging them to reach new heights.
