The Principal Dr Sr Shyji inaugurated the Camp with Faculty Advisors Ms Ramani Dhanaraj (PRO), Dr Mary Anupama (Coordinator of the Camp) Dr Bhaskara Sudha ( IQAC Coordinator), Dr Moushmi Shankar, Sr Latha, Mrs Sony and Mrs Veena Spandana. She had a word with the Doctors and thanked them for their efforts. While visiting the Biochemistry Lab she learnt about the technique used in blood grouping.
The doctors were available for consultation and also prescribed medication. The Medical Camp was very successful as all the students and Staff benefited from it.
Kudos to the Dept of Biochemistry Incharge Dr Mary Anupama Palukurty who coordinated the whole event very well with her colleagues Dr Moushmi Mousami Shankar Addala, Student Council Leaders and the Hospital staff.
The Biochemistry students deserve a big applause for all the blood group testing and hard work.
