It is easy to say that the Thiruvotriyur dialysis unit has completed a year; but it actually translates into so many days of uninterrupted service to kidney disease patients undergoing dialysis at the unit.
Yes, the Thiruvotriyur dialysis unit celebrated its first anniversary Tuesday, June 28, 2022.
There was a gala inauguration of the Thiruvotriyur dialysis centre of the TANKER Foundation by Tamil Nadu Medical and Family Welfare Minister, Mr. Ma. Subramanian, June 28, 2021 – that is, a year ago.
The dialysis centre has come up in the Urban Community Health Centre at Thiruvotriyur by the joint effort of Rotary Club of Madras Central Aadithya, Rotary Club of Madras West and TANKER Foundation.
The dialysis centre has its genesis in the Rotary Global Grant Project.
A small and sweet celebration marked the anniversary at the Thiruvotriyur unit with the patients and staff being treated to samosas and cakes.
The patients used the occasion to express their gratitude and happiness at the way the unit was being run.
