- Over 1500 helmets and first-aid booklets were distributed across high-footfall traffic zones across all the Fortis hospitals in India
National: Fortis Healthcare successfully conducted a nationwide helmet safety campaign aimed at promoting road safety and preventing avoidable emergencies caused by two-wheeler accidents. Over 1500 helmets and first-aid booklets were distributed across high-footfall traffic zones across all the Fortis hospitals in India . The initiative took place across multiple Fortis locations pan-India — Delhi, Noida , Manesar , Gurugram ,Jaipur, Ludhiana, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Amritsar and Mohali — in close collaboration with the respective local traffic police departments.
As part of the campaign, Fortis Hospitals collectively distributed branded helmets along with First Aid booklets to two-wheeler riders found without helmets at high-footfall traffic intersections near their facilities. Specially designed kiosks were installed at key locations to ensure smooth and impactful engagement. Senior representatives from the local traffic police departments, including officials such as DSPs, SPs and other designated authorities, officially inaugurated the activity across all cities.
Adding a unique and impactful touch to the campaign, the activity featured a person dressed as Yamraj, who distributed helmets to the two-wheeler riders and also engaged in brief awareness interactions with riders, reinforcing them about the life-saving importance of wearing a helmet.
This drive was aligned with the ethos of the ongoing Fortis Hai Na campaign, which emphasizes preparedness, care and timely response. By encouraging safe riding habits and reducing the likelihood of preventable emergencies, Fortis aims to strengthen its positioning as a trusted healthcare partner during critical moments.
Talking about the helmet distribution drive, Dr Ritu Garg, Chief Growth & Innovation Officer, Fortis Healthcare said, “Our primary objective through this campaign was to raise awareness about the crucial role helmet usage plays in saving lives. With this initiative, we want to remind riders that a simple precaution can prevent life-changing injuries. Through this activity, Fortis aims to reach a wide audience across cities and reiterate the urgent need for responsible riding. The campaign underscores the organization’s enduring commitment to public safety and proactive healthcare engagement. At Fortis, we remain committed to promoting community well-being and enhancing emergency preparedness.”
This drive forms a core part of the ‘Fortis Hai Na’ campaign’s on-ground activation strategy, designed to enhance emergency awareness, preparedness, and public trust in Fortis as a reliable healthcare partner. Through this large-scale effort, Fortis Healthcare reaffirms its commitment to community health and safety — taking emergency preparedness beyond hospital walls and into everyday life.
