B'luru doctor provides free healthcare for underprivileged people
Dr Rajesh Kishan Rao, a cardiothoracic surgeon, at Sri Jayadeva Institute in Bengaluru, has performed over 600 minimally invasive cardiac surgeries, mostly free for impoverished patients. Inspired by limited rural healthcare access in his native Koppal district, Rao conducts free medical camps and specialises in complex procedures, prioritising patient recovery over private hospital offers.
