Free Medical Camp on Krishnam Raju’s Birth Anniversary

The commemoration of the late rebel star and former Union minister Krishnam Raju’s birth anniversary is scheduled to take place on the 20th of this month in Moghaltur. In preparation for this significant event, Krishnam Raju’s wife, Shyamaladevi, along with their daughter Praseeda and Prabhas, is coordinating the arrangements.

As part of the celebration, Shyamaladevi recently announced that a free medical camp will be conducted at the local Sri Ande Bapanna College to benefit the underprivileged. This medical camp is organized under the auspices of the UK India Diabetic Foot Foundation, with Mr. Krishnam Raju and Dr. Venu Kavartha serving as trustees. Distinguished medical professionals, Dr. Seshabattaru from Jubilee Hills Apollo Hospital and Dr. Verma from Varma Group of Hospitals in Bhimavaram, will participate in the program, offering free medical services.

Shyamaladevi, the aunt of Prabhas and wife of Krishnamraj, stated that the free medical camp would provide local residents suffering from diabetes with complementary medical examinations, medications, and treatments. She urged the people of Mogaltur and neighboring villages to take advantage of this valuable healthcare initiative.

Expressing her sentiments, Shyamaladevi emphasized, “We are celebrating the birth anniversary of King Krishna in Mogaltur, a place very dear to him. On this occasion, we are organizing a free medical camp at Sri Ande Bapanna College. Several doctors from abroad will be part of this camp. We encourage everyone here to utilize the services of this medical camp. Providing medical assistance to the underprivileged is what he always wanted. Myself, Praseeda, and Babu Prabhas are organizing this medical camp, and we anticipate the participation of around a thousand people.”
