FEW CHOSEN TESTIMONIALS OF PATIENTS WHO WERE

ADOPTED FOR FREESHIP FOR THIS MONTH

1. Name: PUSHPANJALI PANIGRAHI

Diagnosis: Breast Cancer

I am Mr. Panigrahi giving testimony on behalf of Mrs. Pushpanjali Panigrahi.

Initially my wife had to go through many turmoils, she was mentally unstable

and there were high chances of her slipping into depression but when we visited

Orchids Breast Health Clinic and spoke to Dr. Koppiker, I saw a positivity in

her. My wife was willing to take the treatment and come out of the deadly

disease all thanks to Dr. Koppiker and his team. In addition to this we also

received major consessions from the organization for her chemotherapy. The

staff here is like a family, very understanding and co-orperative. I would like to

thank everyone for the care and concern for my wife. I wish all the very best to

Dr. Koppiker and his team for the fabulous work they are doing.

2. Name: SAROJ SINGH

Diagnosis: Breast Cancer

I am Mrs. Saroj Singh diagnosed with breast cancer and currently undergoing

chemotherapy at Orchids Breast Health Clinic Day Care Centre. I am very

grateful to Dr. Koppiker for this amazing clinic, the staff here is very caring and

loving, it doesn’t seem like a hospital the ambience is perfect. I was introduced

to this place for chemotherapy but eventually I landed up for my whole

treatment at Orchids. I received major concession for my chemo drugs, for that I

would like to thank Ms. Laleh for her generous help.

I wish all the best to Dr. Koppiker and his whole team for the amazing work

they are doing.

We would like to thank our

Donors & Supporters
