Apollo Speciality Hospitals in Teynampet screened Spider-Man: Brand New Day at Kamala Cinemas for about 100 children with thalassemia, along with their families and caregivers. The hospital chose the film because its story reflects courage and strength to overcome challenges. Revathi Raj, Senior Consultant in Paediatrics and Haematology Oncology, said the aim was to give the children a moment to forget the hospital and laugh freely. Ramya U., Consultant in Paediatric Haematology, said the event celebrated the children's childhood, dreams and happiness.
