Around 600 patients were given free consultation and medication at the
Inlaks hospital recently. Inlaks hospital is under the Rashtriya Seva
Samiti Trust, which has been conducting these charitable camps for the
past 6 to 7 years now.
These routine charitable camps are held once in three months in
addition to the other camps, which are held in association with the
association of Bombay Hospital. “This medical camp has been attended by
600 patients who have been provided free consultation and a highly
subsidized investigation in pathology, ECG, sonography, radiology,”
informs Col. (Dr) R Chintamani, medical director of Inlaks Hospital. He
then adds that the patients have been taken care of by the senior
consultants. The hallmark of the camp has been free distribution of
medicine and subsidized delivery of numbered spectacles.
Even the patients seemed to be quite satisfied with the way they were
treated at the medical camp. The camp was over crowded till late
afternoon. “The doctors gave individual attention to each one of us, it
was really good. My wife got the medicine for free but I had to buy the
medicine prescribed to me due to unavailability of the stock,” says P R
Gaikwad, who hailed from Jijimata Nagar. To which Dr. Chintamani said
that he has called for the remaining stock and would be giving it to
the patients the next day.
Dr. Bhosale D. B, consultant Surgeon, gives the entire credit for these
camps to Dr. Chintamani. According to him, since the time he has taken
the charge he has virtually changed the image of the hospital.
