Welcome to
Tamilnad Kidney Research Foundation
Tamilnad Kidney Research (TANKER) Foundation is a registered non-profit charitable trust established in June 1993 by Dr. Georgi Abraham (Founder), Mrs. Latha A. Kumaraswami (Managing Trustee), Mr. Suresh Balaje (Chairman), and other like-minded individuals. The Foundation was created with the primary mission of providing subsidized dialysis and financial assistance for kidney transplantation, medications, and diagnostic investigations for underprivileged patients suffering from kidney disease.
In addition to treatment support, TANKER Foundation is actively involved in raising awareness about kidney health and conducts regular screening camps for early detection and prevention of kidney-related ailments.
We are deeply grateful for any contributions that help us continue our mission—to offer quality, affordable kidney care to those in need, to educate the public, and to prevent the onset of kidney disease through early detection.
