Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation is planning to arrange a camp for the treatment of Asthma and Respiratory Problems at the Sindhi Camp Bus Stand of Jaipur. Dr Manish Jain informs media about it. “We used the announcement system set by Vritti for one month to test the effectiveness. We were overwhelmed to see the impact of it. 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. We got the information that there are many such patients who are not able to attend the camp because of their professional commitments. Hence, we are planning to repeat it very soon. Even the senior officials of RSRTC also insisted the same.” Dr Manish Jain told that the public announcement system set by Vritti is not just a medium to promote brands or do marketing activities, but it is a wonderful mode of communication.
