JHRC�s Roti Bank to create welfare fund for poor patients

Jamshedpur: A welfare fund for poor patients will soon be set up by Roti Bank, a unique bank created by Jharkhand Human Rights Conference (JHRC), in steel city. This was announced on Monday by the president of JHRC, Manoj Mishra, during a food distribution programme held at MGM Hospital. Today�s programme was sponsored by a JHRC member on the occasion of his 32nd wedding anniversary.
Speaking on the occasion, Mishra said there are numerous patients at MGMCH who are financially weak and hence unable to bear the expenses of treatment. Many of these poor patients are suffering from incurable and serious diseases. Children and women needing urgent medical attention are also admitted to the hospital on a daily basis. They also need help from the society, said Mishra.
Another outfit member Vinita Agrawal said the Roti Bank is trying to ensure nutritious food as well as better healthcare facilities for poor patients.
Prem Lata Agrawal, a veteran member of JHRC, said a large number of people had joined the campaign launched by Roti Bank. People are now booking their favourite dates for distributing food among the poor patients, she said.
Among others present during today�s food distribution programme included SL Das, Renu Singh, Suman Jena, Geeta Gandhi, INdu Puri, Manoj Dutta, Dr Gurmukh Singh, Vishwajeet Singh, Ashwini Pathan, Sachidanand Patro and Simran Kaur.
