Telangana Chief Minister Anumula Revanth Reddy on Monday expressed solidarity with a cancer patient and asked the Nizam Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) to get the man admitted and perform the required surgery.
The patient identified as Naveen Vadde is currently admitted to the Indo American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute. In response to an appeal by city-based activist Robin Zachceus , Reddy said, “It’s painful to learn about Naveen, who is battling rare cancer at such a young age. I’ve directed the authorities to contact his family and make all necessary arrangements for treatment. The government will bear the expenses and make the necessary arrangements for the treatment. I have asked the NIMS doctors to take special care of Naveen till he recovers.’’
