Managing Director - Bharat Biotech felicitated the Women donors in the presence of the acclaimed telugu film actor Shri. Rajendra Prasad.
Talking on the Occasion Mrs. Suchitra Ella, Co-Founder & Jt. Managing Director - Bharat Biotech said, “Organ transplants gives hope to life.

I like to applaud every single selfless women organ donor present here and many others who have saved precious lives. They have shown what a profound impact it has and will serve as an inspiration to many more. I also like to commend the hospital for this #GiftofLife campaign and honoring the selfless act of these women organ donors on this momentous Women's Day.”
