In a noteworthy initiative under corporate social responsibility (CSR), Manipal Tata Medical College has generously provided 20,000 Hemoglobin test strips to the District Administration, East Singhbhum, on the request of Civil Surgeon, East Singhbhum. The test strips, given by Manipal Foundation, will facilitate Hemoglobin tests across the district, focusing on students above STD 8 in all Kasturba Gandhi Vidyalayas and pregnant women.
The primary objective of this CSR event is to identify severe anaemia patients who may not afford these tests or are unaware of their condition. The initiative aims to make a lifesaving contribution to victims of severe anaemia, particularly among students and pregnant women. This contribution is expected to significantly contribute to the well-being of anaemic patients, enabling the district administration to monitor and provide proper medication for their recovery.
The event took place within the campus of Manipal Tata Medical College in Baridih, where 20,000 test strips were handed over to Dr. Jujhar Majhi, Civil Surgeon, East Singhbhum. The donation ceremony witnessed the presence of key figures, including Dr. Harish Chandra Bandhu, Associate Dean (Clinical) and HOD – Gynae Dept, Professor Rajiva Dwivedi, Director – Academic Administration and Quality Director, Dr. Vijay Kautilya, Associate Dean (Para Clinical) and HOD- Forensic Dept, Jai Prakash, Legal Dept, Kshitij Mohan – Head General Administration, Priyanka Singhal – PR/Legal, Dr. Maheshwar Prasad, Head Outreach Dept, and Kanhaiya Upadhyay – Chief of Security Officer.
