After donating electronic BP machines to police personnel of Chennai, TANKER Foundation shifted its focus to Thoothukudi.

On Friday, October 7, 2022, TANKER Foundation Founder-Trustee, Dr. Georgi Abraham, made a visit to Thoothukudi to donate the BP apparatus to the police personnel of the southern district of Tamil Nadu.

The BP machines, 61 in number, were handed over to the district Superintendent of Police, Dr. L. Saravanan Balaji, IPS. He exhorted the police personnel to make good use of the programme and emphasised the need to maintain good health.

Dr. Saravanan Balaji thanked Dr Georgi Abraham for going the extra mile in travelling to Thoothukudi to personally hand over the BP apparatus.
