The
camp was inaugurated on the 4th of September 2004 at Gurunivas,
Narasimhavana by His Holiness
Sri Sri Bharathi Tirtha Maha Swamingal,
the 36th pontiff of the Sri Dhakshinamnaya Sharada Peetam. The
first patient record was received by
Mrs. Radha Venkataachalam, Chief
Executive Director from His Holiness at 8.45 am. The camp started
at 9 am with the blessings of His Holiness. His Holiness conveyed
his wish that Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre must have a continued
association with the Sharada Dhanvantari Charitable Hospital
in providing health care to the patients and pilgrims of Sringeri.
The Chief Executive Director of Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre
Mrs. Radha Venkataachalam said that SRMC will explore the options
of creating a telemedicine link up that will give patients at
Sringeri instant access to specialist consultation. Over
600 patients from Sringeri and surrounding villages benefited
from the camp. The local Inner Wheel, Rotary Club and Lions
Club Members took active part in the arrangements and registration.
On the evening of 4th Dr. J.S.N. Murthy and Dr. S. Anandan
delivered lectures on “Approach
to chest pain” and “Common
dermatological problems in clinical practice” respectively
in a meeting arranged by the IMA at the hospital premises.
His Holiness blessed the team in the evening of the 5th September
and conveyed his satisfaction at the smooth conduct of the
camp and blessed the participants.
