SOME 170 patients benefited from the Guyana Pandits’ Council medical outreach that was conducted late last month in collaboration with a few mandirs. 

This marks the 6th medical outreach spearheaded by the Pandits’ Council alongside the Hindu Parishad and Radha Krishna Mandir in collaboration with the Farm/Herstelling Vishnu Mandir, on the East Bank of Demerara.

This outreach was done under the guidance and leadership of the renowned Pandit Rudra Sharma, Spiritual Head of the Radha Krishna Mandir who ensured the activity was executed efficiently.

The majority of the patients ranged from fifty years and over and they were all given ample time to sit and discuss their issues with the doctors, ensuring that appropriate medications were provided to help improve their conditions. The medical outreach saw many cases of hypertension, diabetes and chikungunya.
The patients also received hampers as part of the medical initiative to show appreciation of their participation.
Additionally, the Guyana Pandits’ Council extended heartfelt gratitude towards the medical doctors: Anila Ramphal, Varun Budhram, Michael Perreia and Rupan Singh who worked tirelessly from 11:00am to 4:30pm with the patients as well as the pharmacists who also played a significant role alongside the members of the Guyana Pandits’ Council and Radha Krishna Mandir.
