Their engaging conversation provided attendees with actionable insights into maintaining physical and mental well-being.

In her address, Manisha Koirala offered profound reflections on resilience and personal growth: "No matter how prepared we are, life will always throw challenges. There will always be a surprise, but we have a choice to either be consumed by it or rise above it."
