Some patients go back home after feeling fine, while some lose the battle of life.

Says Rummy, “The doors of our gurudwara are open to everyone. Most of the patients come in whose oxygen levels have fallen drastically and are in a very critical state. Patients use oxygen supplies as long as That they do not feel well. By the grace of God we have a sufficient supply of oxygen, but still we are not able to save some patients.”
