Jaikaran, Professor and Head, Paediatric Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, ICH, who acknowledged the timely and impactful contribution that will significantly strengthen pediatric critical care services at the institution.

Demonstrating a deep commitment beyond equipment donation, RCMS has ensured a comprehensive 5-year Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) for both ventilators and has also set aside dedicated funds to address any unforeseen repair or operational expenses. This thoughtful approach ensures uninterrupted, long-term functionality of the life-saving equipment.
