Marking a year since the launch of its Sunday Service initiative, Dr Motsuo Memorial District Hospital (DMMDH), Wokha, held a Thanksgiving Service on Sunday at the hospital’s Chapel Hall.

Introduced in 2024, the Sunday Service was envisioned to provide hospital employees—many of whom remain on duty even on Sundays—an opportunity to worship and seek spiritual renewal within the hospital premises.

Addressing the congregation, Medical Superintendent, Dr N Mhonchan Kithan said the initiative was introduced not only to help staff members attend worship and pray for their patients but also to strengthen their moral and spiritual well-being. He expressed gratitude to God for His faithfulness throughout the year and highlighted that thanksgiving fosters spiritual growth while also promoting physical and mental health by reducing stress and blood pressure.

Dr Kithan further extended appreciation to various churches for their continued visits and encouragement to the hospital staff.

Mhademo Ngullie, Music Director of Wokha Town Baptist Church, delivered the Thanksgiving message, speaking on the significance of gratitude in all circumstances. He reminded the congregation to give thanks not only for the blessings received but also for those yet to come and to remain faithful even through trials.

The service was chaired by Staff Nurse, R Ayala, with General Surgeon, Dr Visazotuo, leading the invocation prayer and Psychiatric Nurse, DMMHP Lireni Tungoe, offering the offertory prayer. A special number was presented by Staff Nurse, Areni, followed by a Scripture reading by Lokyonglo. The congregation joined in a mass spoken prayer to conclude the service.
