Patient’s son donates 20 wheelchairs to NIMS

Hyderabad: A US-settled man has donated 20 wheelchairs to Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (Nims) to help ageing patients who visit for treatment. He was deeply impressed with the treatment received from the hospital for his mother and wanted to donate out of gratitude.

Raghavendra Reddy, originally from Nalgonda, had brought his mother Jayaprada, to the hospital to get a knee-replacement done. He was satisfied with the treatment his mother received from the doctors and staff.

"I am satisfied with the treatment my mother received. Seeing that the hospital struggles to provide wheelchairs for ageing and otherwise ailing patients who cannot walk, I decided to donate some wheelchairs. Hopefully, it will benefit other patients," Reddy said.

He handed over the chairs to additional medical superintendent Dr Lakshmi Bhaskar on Thursday.
