“A few days ago, the additional commissioner, Shri Sambhaji Panpatte, at the MBMC Indira Gandhi Dialysis Centre expressed concern about the growing number of patients that they couldn't accommodate. They reached out to the Making The Difference NGO healthcare for assistance. Subsequently, we began searching for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives partners who were willing to provide a dialysis machine. PPFAS Mutual Funds stepped forward and contributed from their CSR funds. Both MBMC and I are grateful to PPFAS Mutual Funds CSR for their support in addressing this issue.”  Said Ms. Dwiti Mehta – Vice President of Making The Difference – NGO.
