Lunar Exports MD exchanges MoU with hospital’s Medical Superintendent

Mysuru: In a bid to financially  help Dialysis patients, the city’s JSS Hospital signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Lunar Exports Private Limited in the gracious presence of Suttur Mutt Seer Sri Shivarathri Deshikendra Swamiji at a programme held in JSS Hospital premises on M.G. Road here yesterday.

Speaking on the occasion, Lunar Exports Managing Director Bastian  Joseph said that the JSS institutions has remained forever in the minds of the people for its community services. Pointing out that more than 300 JSS institutions are functioning in India and abroad, he said that at the same time, these Institutions have maintained quality in educational and health services.

“Lunar exports, taking note of the magnanimous societal services of JSS institutions, will extend financial help out of its CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)  funds  to patients visiting the JSS hospital for Kidney Dialysis in the name of ‘JSS-Walkmate Dialysis treatment’. As a first step, we are donating Rs.10 lakh for the purpose. My father who was a doctor, used to treat snake bite victims for free. Inspired by my father’s medical service, I also wanted to study medicine. But I could not get a seat and hence studied Engineering”, Joseph said  adding that his company was always willing to support Institutions in their social activities.

Suttur Seer, in his address, said “Many Institutions and Organisations have been extending help to JSS Hospital for the benefit of poor patients. In the past, former Infosys Foundation Chairperson Dr. Sudha Murty had donated Rs.10 lakh and Pramoda Devi Wadiyar had donated Rs. 5 lakh as financial support for the treatment of  poor dialysis patients. Now, it is heartening to note  that Lunar exports has donated Rs.10 lakh for the same cause , he noted.
