Background:
Nara Bhuvaneswari, Managing Trustee of the NTR Memorial Trust, opened a free medical camp at the Youth Centre in Rampachodavaram on Sunday. The camp, held with GSL and GSR Hospitals, offers healthcare services to local people.
Before the camp, Bhuvaneswari prayed at the Gadi Bapanamma temple in Sitapalli and was greeted with a traditional Kommu dance by the local tribal community. She was joined by MLA Miriyala Sirisha Devi, met with patients, and gave polio drops to children.
Speaking at the event, Bhuvaneswari highlighted the Trust’s mission, established by Nara Chandrababu Naidu, to support healthcare, education, and women’s empowerment.
She also noted that the Trust has distributed medicines worth nearly Rs 23 crore and conducted over 2,000 mobile camps to reach remote areas. Beyond healthcare, the Trust supports over 2,000 orphans and provides scholarships to students, while its blood banks across major cities have collected five lakh units of blood, helping more than nine lakh recipients.
MLA Miriyala Sirisha Devi appreciated the camp, noting the region’s high prevalence of sickle cell disease and requested the establishment of a permanent blood bank in Rampachodavaram.
