Offers FREE treatment for patients with Dengue, Chikungunya
The fear of widespread vector-borne diseases is spreading panic among the people. The hospitals, both government and private, are full with patients. Even though the scene is the same outside a private clinic in Siddarthanagar, the patients flocking the clinic are going back with great relief. Sri Manjunatha Clinic on T. Narasipur Main Road (Male Mahadeshwara Road) in Siddarthanagar (near Mysore Dairy) is run by Dr. Bellipadi Satish Rai. Unlike many private hospitals and nursing homes who cash in on such bleak situations, Dr. Rai is treating the patients afflicted with Chikungunya and Dengue free of cost, since the past 25 days and setting an example for others to follow. The people-friendly doctor, Dr. Rai is also distributing free medicines to very poor patients. He charges fees for patients who are economically sound and use it for the treatment of poor patients. The patients who are cured from the doctor’s treatment, in turn tell it to others. Thus, by word of mouth, people flock to Dr. Rai’s clinic. Since there is no particular treatment for Dengue, each doctor treats the patient based on his experience. Similarly, Dr. Satish Rai, using allopathic medicines, treats and cures the patients.
