TANKER Foundation donates 200 BP machines to TN DGP office
DGP Mr. Thamarai Kannan and TANKER Foundation
Founder-Trustee, Dr. Georgi Abraham, had mooted the idea of donating BP
apparatus to police stations with an aim of taking care of the police force,
who are frontline workers. High Blood pressure, not attended to, is one of the
main causes for kidney failure. And in keeping with its mission of spreading
awareness for prevention of kidney diseases, TANKER Foundation has taken up the
project which will be done in a phased manner.
TANKER Foundation will distribute booklets along
with the machines for the readings to be recorded and follow up with them, to
caution and advice those who are found to be at risk.
DGP Dr Sylendra Babu suggested setting up a dialysis
unit at the Police Hospital in Chennai. TANKER Foundation Trustee, Mr. Reji
Abraham, who was present on the occasion along with another Trustee, Dr.
Sumantran, readily accepted to donate the first dialysis machine for the
hospital.
TANKER Foundation would like to place on record the
efforts of DGP, Dr. Jayanth Murali, for running three full marathons so far to
raise funds for the BP machine project.
Grateful thanks to Mrs. Rajalakshmi Ravi, Head the
TANKER Awareness and Prevention Program team, Centaur Pharmaceuticals for
donating 300 BP apparatus, Mr. Narotham Reddy, MD, Medsmart, Mr. Ramesh Victor,
COO, Medsmart, and Ms. Vidya Arumugam, Independent Financial Strategist, and
other donors who have all been a great support in this project.
TANKER Foundation Managing-Trustee, Mrs. Latha A.
Kumaraswami, Head Admin, Mrs. Vasanthi Ravichander, Advisory Member, Ms. Rohini
