| Dr. Vikas Amte requested an Anesthesia machine for the hospital at Anandwan for the medical care of the leprosy cured patients and others. Dr. Jyotsana Walia of Auburn, WA and her physician friends donated $1800 with PPI covering the remaining $3206 towards the purchase of this equipment. Dr. Amte writes that the anesthesia machine is operational from October 2004 and has been very useful in conducting hand surgeries. Specialist doctors from U.K. have been conducting the surgery. We thank Dr. Walia and her friends for their support and are very happy to have helped this very worthwhile organization in their hour of need. |
