The
Movie
Artistes
Association
(MAA)
is
arranging
Health
Card
to
its
members
for
the
past
four
years.
This
year,
the
MAA
had
decided
to
give
Apollo
Hospital
Health
Card.
A
press
meet
was
arranged
at
Apollo
Hospital
during
the
launch
of
the
card,
in
which
MAA
president
Nagababu,
vice-president
Srikanth,
secretary
Mallikarjuna
Rao,
writer
Paruchuri
Venkateswara
Rao,
Apollo
CEO
Hariprasad
participated.
Allu
Arjun
who
attended
the
programme
as
special
guest
launched
the
MAA
health
card.
Nagababu
says,
"The
MAA
launched
the
mediclaim
card
some
four
years
ago.
Different
hospitals
sponsored
those
cards
during
the
past
years.
This
year
Apollo
Hospital
offered
more
facilities
on
the
card
and
hence,
we
chose
to
sign
an
agreement
with
the
hospital."
"It
came
to
our
notice
that
some
of
the
members
were
misusing
the
card
and
some
other
were
using
the
card
for
regular
and
routine
check-up
even
if
there
was
no
urgency.
We
also
request
the
members
to
use
the
card
judiciously
as
the
big
stars
are
not
availing
the
benefits
on
the
card
to
facilitate
the
small
artists
to
make
best
use
of
the
card," he
added.
Srikanth
says,
"The
card
will
be
useful
anywhere
in
India,
where
there
was
an
Apollo
hospital."
Allu
Arjun
says,
"This
is
a
very
good
scheme
and
I
appreciate
the
MAA
for
taking
up
a
scheme,
which
is
beneficial
to
all.
I
also
sincerely
request
the
members
not
to
misuse
the
card."
