I started noticing my son put on a lot of weight. He lacked interest in doing any kind of physical activity. I wanted to help him to lose the extra weight and become active. Upon a friend's referral, I visited Sri Ramakrishna Hospital. Thankfully, my son was only in the starting stages of obesity, and the doctors were able to provide him with a few tips and medications to treat the condition. Thank you, Sri Ramakrishna Hospital, for helping my son to get in shape.
I would like to thank the doctors at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital for guiding my daughter on the right path along with giving her the right treatment for obesity. It has been a couple of months since she underwent the treatment, and now she is full of energy and has been in her best health. This is only possible because of your help. Thank you so much.
