As India was in the depth of the Covid crisis, healthcare professionals from across the country had to be pressed into service to manage this crisis. A new disease with an unknown treatment protocol meant that all of us were working under very tough circumstances. As nurses are the primary care givers in any healthcare setting, here too the nurses carried a significant burden of managing Covid. As the country recovered from multiple waves, Apollo Hospitals and the Impact Guru team conceived the "Thank A Nurse" initiative as a give back to the nursing community. The goal of Thank A Nurse was to train, upskill and impact 1 lac nurses from across the country and provide opportunities for them to grow in their professional career. Since its launch more than 19000 nurses have benefited from this program and have had access to over 25 courses across 6 clinical impact areas. Impact Guru Foundation has been instrumental in the execution of this program wherein the nurses will be provided with free content and training in partnership with various academic institutions, skilling, and nonprofit partners.

Prabhakaran’s journey as a soldier in the Indian army came to an end, when he suffered an injury to his spinal cord. The man who fought bravely for his nation lost all sensation in his legs, bladder, and bowel. Disheartened and beaten down as he was, he found hope in the Impact Guru Foundation. With the help Impact Gur Foundation he was aided with a treatment of Stimulation Movement Overground (STIMO),a groundbreaking procedure involves a surgery and Prabhakaran was able to walk again.

“My whole life turned upside down. The sense of pride that accompanies you when you’re fighting for your country was lost. I became highly dependent on my family, and people around me. Basic things like walking, standing, or using the washroom would require assistance. I couldn’t help but feel like a burden. I did not think that I would ever be able to walk again, it is nothing less of a dream come true.”
