NUAPADA: In the midst of the gloom that has prevailed due to the second wave of Covid-19, an auto driver of Nuapada district has turned saviour for patients by ferrying them to hospitals and testing facilities in his auto-rickshaw free of cost.
The driver Kumar Tandi, in his late 50s, is a resident of Colonypada under Bilenjar gram panchayat of Komna block. An HIV patient himself, Kumar says he is doing so not only as a moral duty but also because he empathises with the plight of patients.
“Since I am a patient myself, I can relate to what others might be going through. When I was diagnosed to be HIV positive, I had also faced difficulties on many fronts, mainly stigma. I don’t want to see other patients undergo similar situation and try to help them in every possible manner”, says Kumar.
