Mission director for Biocon Foundation Anupama Shetty called upon medical professionals to come forward to take quality healthcare to the people in rural areas.
Speaking at the inaugural session of the three-day national seminar on ‘Recent innovation and multidisciplinary research’ organised by Sharnbasva University on the main campus here on Friday, Dr. Shetty said medical facilities in rural areas were deplorable with lack of quality infrastructure and dearth of qualified medical functionaries.
She said that healthcare service in rural parts was riddled with hurdles, including poor awareness and societal stigma.
