MUMBAI: As part of its Community Social Responsibility activities, thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions (TkIS) India, one of the country’s most renowned engineering companies for the chemical process industries, recently has made contributions of several medical equipment in hospitals across Mumbai and Pune including surgical devices to treat critical diseases and surgeries.
In one such initiative, tkIS India donated 48 sets of Neuro Vascular Catheters to the Department of Oncology, TATA Memorial Hospital, Parel Mumbai in the year 2016-17. Earlier, 39 sets of catheters were donated by the company to the hospital in the year 2014-2015, which were used for the treatment of 13 patients suffering from Retinoblastoma, an eye cancer.
