In hope of a healthier 2021, Ritesh Patni from an NGO Namo Namo Shankara donated two machines to MGM Medical College to help corona warriors keep the residents healthy and safe.

The two machines (coagulation analyser and automated slide strainer) are designed to measure different chemicals and other characteristics in a number of biological samples quickly, with minimal human assistance.

The NGO is led by MP Shankar Lalwani and social worker Pankaj Fatechandani.
