NUSI Wockhardt Super Sociality Hospital handled the task of providing medical assistance to the participants in the 2015 edition of the event in an extremely competent manner. Therefore, they have been selected as the medical partner for Force Gurkha RFC India 2016 as well. Apart from deploying a specialized medical team at the challenge locations, the hospital will provide a fully-equipped ambulance throughout the event in order to deal with medical contingencies.

Force Gurkha RFC India was launched in 2014 as India’s first international off-road motorsport event where the competing teams have to undergo a series of challenges over eight days and the team with the maximum points at the end of all the tasks emerges as the winner. This year, around 25 teams are expected to take part in the competition and the top Indian competitor of the event will be given an automatic free entry to the mother event which will be held in Malaysia at the end of the year.
