Two CSR-funded medical projects were done by RC Bangalore Ulsoor, RID 3192, at the Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Chikkaballapur in Karnataka.
As part of its community health outreach, the club has done 107 cardiac surgeries at the hospital with a CSR grant of ₹37.45 lakh from TTP Technologies and Rajamane Industries. “This financial assistance benefitted underprivileged patients who cannot afford life-saving procedures,” said club president P Vijaya Kumar. The CSR grant provided ₹35,000 for every surgery.
After the surgery, patients were given proper nutrition, medication, and regular check up to ensure full recovery. The medical teams at the hospital gave timely guidance and support for the recovery of 107 patients. The beneficiaries included children suffering from congenital heart diseases.
In another initiative, the hospital administered HPV vaccines to 943 school girls to ensure protection against cervical cancer. The club partnered with Commvault Systems to provide vaccine doses to the girls.
Each student received two doses of the HPV vaccine, given with a six-month gap. “The vaccination drive aimed to protect young girls and women from cervical cancer through timely intervention, awareness creation, and community engagement,” said Kumar.
