Sudharani also appreciated the services of Indian Red Cross Society for Thalassemia patients by providing blood when they were in need. The poor were getting medicines at cheaper rates through generic medical shops, she added. She commended the generosity of NRIs and members of the Telangana American Telugu Association (TATA) Dr Sunitha and Dr Divakar Jandyam for donating over 100 pulse oximeters. Free meals packets have been distributed to several municipal sanitation workers on the occasion.
Later, she planted a sapling on the premises of the IRCS compound. IMA President Dr P Sudheep, TANA President Dr P Praveen, Governing Body Members of IRCS Dr Vijaya Lakshmi, MGMH former RMO Dr Shiva Kumar, IRCS medical officers, and staff participated in the programme.
