Our member Ms S. Deb, has regular doctor check-ups at home. During such a visit on 18th February, 2024, the doctor diagnosed her of high blood pressure and suggested for an ECG to be done immediately.

When they couldn’t find any place to get the ECG done which was compulsory, her daughter who was in Canada, called up Support Elders for help. ZC Mr S. Sarkar, left no stones unturned to find out a diagnostic centre which was open and get a person to the member’s house for ECG. Since the ECG was done in time and sent to the doctor, medicative follow-up took place immediately and the member was relieved.
