Zulekha Healthcare Group and Air Arabia have joined hands, alongside Sharjah Tourism Authority to fund an all-expenses paid holiday to the UAE for two children and their families from India. The two children, Chirag Sadan and Prathik Khushal Thakre, aged 17 and 16, both courageous cancer survivors who have undergone successful treatment at Alexis Multispeciality Hospital, Zulekha Healthcare Group’s hospital in Nagpur, India arrived in Sharjah and were received by the Sharjah Tourism Authority representatives early this week. Both children are now recovering and are feeling fit.
The trip is part of the Group’s ‘Realize Your Dreams’ campaign to provide positive experiences and build memories for those who have been through traumatic and life threatening situations. The children have been gifted a complete holiday package for themselves and their respective fathers to the UAE that includes visiting some of the country’s most iconic landmarks such as the Sharjah Al Majaz Waterfront, Al Noor Island, Sharjah Aquarium, the Cultural Museums and Sharjah Art Foundation, the desserts surrounding the emirate and Global Village.

Al Midfa.
Meeting all their hosting teams, Chirag says, “We have realized our dream of coming this far and exploring new places, meeting new people and understand the culture, languages and diversity in this place. I can’t stop clicking these beautiful memories”.
Smiling, Prathik adds, “My friends, family and all of us are grateful to everyone and our Dr. Amol Dhongre at Alexis. It is exciting to receive so much respect and many gifts we take back along with fond memories to our families. The treatment and this experience changed our perspective of life”.
