STORIES OF CHANGE
Nageshwar Rao belongs to a tribal community in Rampachodavaram. He has always been committed to helping his family financially. But his zeal to help others ignited when he saw his neighbour succumb to an asthma attack. Fortunately, a training program in Health Care which had recently launched close to his home presented an opportunity. The course on Health Care has enabled him to identify the emergency, help the patient with basic life-saving techniques and hand the patient safely over to a doctor.
