Elderly Volunteer lends hand to run vax drive

Bengaluru: While most of us would hesitate entering hospital for even our own OPD appointment these days, a 59 year old retired man in Bengaluru is volunteering in a hospital to ensure vaccination process is smooth.

A retired engineer, 59, Satish Rao is an Indiranagar resident. He has been volunteering at CV Raman General Hospital since March 2, 2021.

“The current work at CV Raman Hospital started after my own experience at a private hospital in Yeshwantpur. When I went to get vaccinated on March 2, it was chaos at the private facility. It’s in my nature to volunteer and I couldn’t stop myself from helping the hospital authorities bring in discipline. The next day, when I heard of similar commotion at CV Raman Hospital, which is in my immediate neighborhood, I decided to offer my services,” he said.

Satish, also motivates people to take jab and make them aware about benefits of vaccination. Being able to do something that helps people and the system, makes him happy.
