Medicines will be given free of cost to the needy. The clinic is only for the R. A. Puram community.
A RAPRA member said that residents often need a general physician for treatment of common minor ailments and they find that GPs are limited and often they have to go to hospitals even for minor issues.
Residents can also discuss with the doctor to have second opinion on treatment they are currently undergoing
One of the consultants offering free service is Dr. Satyamurthy, cardiologist, Apollo Hospitals
Today, the clinic started functioning with Dr. Parthasarathy, chest specialist and the doctor in charge of the free clinic.
