Report by Nithyashree Venkataraman
Rinku Anand is the owner and founder of Shakuntala Patient Care Needs in Sri Ram Colony in Abhiramapuram.
She sells wheelchairs, walkers, child walkers and adult diapers and these products are available at all times. "Other products that aren't available commonly can also be purchased here but it may take up to 3 days to be delivered," she says.
Not only are these products personally door delivered but also installed in the patient's houses. "For far-off destinations, I have send by auto," she says.
"Even though my store isn't linked to any hospital, health devices, orthopedic products, back adjustable cots and back rests are available here," she says.
She gives patients her personal phone number so that they can contact her at any time in case of any emergencies. "It's a family business, for my husband runs a pharmaceutical company," she says.
Economically backward people are given a discount. "In case there is a death in a family, they return the patient care products. I gift these to the economically backward people," she says.

Nithyashree has an eye for news . Hundreds of persons pass through the store, but its speciality in the context of the area, didn't strike anyone other than her, intensely enough to write home about, that store. Highlighting the mundane,by focusing on its speciality, is what news-making is about, most of time.
