He announced that Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute, which was established by his father with the aim of providing quality medical care to the poor at affordable prices, would continue to do so for people without motives of profit.
The program was attended by Mr. JS R Prasad, Trust Board Members, Dr. RV Prabhakara Rao, CEO; Dr. Kaspana Raghunath, Associate Director, Academics and Ad Liep; Dr. Phani Koteswara Rao, Medical Superintendent; Dr. Senthil Rajappa, Head, Department of Medical Oncology; Dr. Veeraiah Chaudhary, Head, Department of Radiology; Haritha, Head, Department of Social Workers, and other doctors, nursing, paramedical staff, their families and Balakrishna’s fans.
