Dr Dhananjay Datar gifts oxygen kits to patients

We, therefore, financially supported a unique drive called ‘Rickshaw Ambulance’ where an auto-rickshaw can be equipped with an oxygen cylinder and can be utilised as an ambulance.

Pratibha Prabhakar Pulmonary Rehabilitation Centre recently arranged a symposium in Goregaon to highlight the importance of healthy lifestyle and oxygen for the patients of pulmonary diseases. Masala King Dhananjay Datar, a philanthropist and an ardent supporter of social welfare projects, attended the programme and donated oxygen kits to five such patients who regularly need oxygen but can’t afford the expenses.

Each kit included an oxygen concentrator to supply oxygen at home, a portable oxygen machine to supply oxygen for a few hours in travel or outside home and a Pulse Oximeter to check the oxygen saturation level in blood.

Datar said: “My mother, in her last days, suffered from a pulmonary ailment and couldn’t draw breath properly. I couldn’t bear her pain and struggle. Even today, I feel restless when I see such patients who are in dire need of oxygen, but can’t afford an oxygen supply instrument.
