Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that the selfless service being rendered to cancer patients is truly exemplary. During his visit to Virat Hospice in Jabalpur, he met cancer patients who had been given up on by doctors and, due to belonging to economically weaker families, are being cared for at the hospice during their final days.
Dr. Yadav also met Sadhvi Gyaneshwari Didi, who leads this noble initiative. He interacted with the patients and inquired about their well-being. The Chief Minister praised the Brahmarshi Bawra Mission, under which the hospice operates, calling it a remarkable example of humanitarian service. He lauded Sadhvi Gyaneshwari Didi and her team for the care provided to underprivileged cancer patients.
Before meeting the patients, the Chief Minister reviewed the under-construction cancer hospital on the hospice premises. Virat Hospice’s Medical Director Dr. Akhilesh Gumasta briefed him on the upcoming facilities, including a Brachytherapy Unit. The hospital will provide free treatment to cancer patients, and will soon install a state-of-the-art cobalt machine for radiotherapy, which will commence operations after approval from Bhabha Atomic Research Centre.
