The hospital hosted a special event for the CUH community, where staff enjoyed a free lunch buffet, traditional food and drink, and a special Bharatanatyam dance performance. Staff also had the opportunity to decorate tea lights and receive some mehndi (henna) art. The hospital chimney was also illuminated for Diwali from 9 November through to 14 November.
