Memorial service for Ms. Champa Rani

There was a memorial service for Ms. Champa Rani on the 31st of March 2011. Family was in attendance. It was a moving and emotional time for all. Champa was dearly loved and an exemplary person in all aspects of her life. The hospital will initiate an award in her memory called the Champa Rani memorial award for the ideal employee, so her memory is perpetuated for the person that she was. A fund will also be started to educate a girl every year in her memory.

Thanks for the equipement

A couple from Chennai brought their eleventh month girl child cyanosed. The child had been unwell for a few days and had not been feeding. They spoon fed her horlicks after which she became very sick. She had aspirated and was brought with severe respiratory distress. She had a background bilateral pneumonia. Initial improvement led to later deterioration and she had a respiratory arrest from which she was resuscitated and then ventilated. She was later transferred to CMC Ludhiana via our ventilated ambulance. This was a working run of all our recently donated equipment saving this girls life. Thanks all of you who played a part in this! The child is getting better now, from what we hear.
