PASIGHAT :  The State Bank of India (SBI), Pasighat Branch, on Thursday donated three sets of airport chairs to the herbal clinic of Padma Shri awardee Yanung Jamoh Lego at GTC, Pasighat, to improve waiting facilities for patients and visitors.

The chairs were handed over by the SBI Pasighat team led by Chief Manager Arun Kumar during a visit to the clinic.

The donation was made under the bank’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, considering the large number of patients and visitors who travel from different parts of the country to seek consultation at the clinic. Many visitors, including elderly and ailing patients, often have to wait for long periods before their turn.

Speaking on the occasion, Arun Kumar said the chairs would provide much-needed comfort to patients and attendants waiting for treatment.

“Patients and visitors from different parts of the country often have to wait for their turn. We hope this small contribution will make their visit more comfortable,” he said, adding that the bank was pleased to support a facility serving people from across the country.

Yanung Jamoh Lego has been practising traditional Adi herbal medicine for more than three decades and is widely known for her contribution to indigenous healthcare. Her clinic receives a large number of visitors from Arunachal Pradesh and other parts of the country seeking traditional herbal treatment.
