Dr SP Singh Oberoi, a Dubai-based businessman and a known philanthropist, on Thursday visited Guru Gobind Singh Medical College and Hospital (GGSMCH).
He donated 100 dialysis kits to the dialysis unit of the hospital and also gave three water purification systems for the hostel of the students of the college.
Earlier, Dr oberoi had donated Rs 1.28 crore for the construction of an inn for cancer patients and their relatives in GGSMCH. He had also donated a CT scan machine worth Rs 2 crore to the hospital.
Oberoi, who had went to Dubai in 1977 as a mechanic and started his own construction company, had earlier paid $1m (£645,000) as ‘blood money’ to secure the release of 17 Indian nationals who were on death row for killing a Pakistani man in the United Arab Emirates in February 2013.
Appreciating Oberoi’s generosity for the poor and needy, Dr Raj Bahadur, Vice-Chancellor, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, said the medical college and hospital could never repay his acts of kindness.
