Our message reached to almost 100% audience, and they showed a tremendous interest in it. We saw a big surge in the number of patients from the rural areas. They were treated with the best methods.” “Drivers of the state transport buses are required to drive in the rural areas where the quality of the road is not up to the mark. Over exposure of dust and smoke causes all sorts of respiratory issues, including Asthma. It is the reason; the majority of patients are drivers by profession.
