Bhubaneswar: The Biju Patnaik International Airport authority, as a part of the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has funded the procurement of medical equipment including six mechanical ventilators, two portable ventilators and two defibrillators to the All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS), Bhubaneswar.
The AIIMS authorities have completed procurement and installation of all these equipment and those have been inaugurated by BPIA Director Prabhat Ranjan Beuria in presence of AIIMS Bhubaneswar Medical Superintendent Sachidananda Mohanty and other employees.
