Imphal, May 06 2016 :
Meetei International Civic Action Network (MICAN) has lauded JNIMS Director Laisham Deben for giving free treatment to poverty stricken and physically challenged RK Tamphasana of Tera Sapam Leirak.
RK Tamphasana is the mother of a five-year-old girl and she has been bed-ridden since 2011 without any treatment as she can't stand up due to thinning out of muscles on both her legs after she was administered a pain killer, said a statement.
After Tamphasana's story was published by some sections of the media, JNIMS Director Laisham Deben announced that she would be given treatment free of cost at the State-run hospital.
As RK Tamphasana did not come to the hospital even after his announcement, Deben went along with a medical team and an ambulance personally and brought the woman to the hospital today.
RK Tamphasana has been allotted Bed No 30 at Orthopaedics Ward, the statement said and added the Director has instructed the doctors and medical staff to give special care to the woman.
On the otherhand Tamphasana has thanked the Director for this act of kindness.
