Wayanad, Kerala | 17 October 2026.

TANKER Foundation extended its support to tribal healthcare in Wayanad, Kerala, by providing three dialysis machines to Koliyeri Mission Hospital. The machines were inaugurated by the Hon. Minister T. Siddique in the presence of Dr. Georgi Abraham, President and Founder Trustee of TANKER Foundation, along with hospital representatives, healthcare professionals and other dignitaries.

This initiative aims to improve access to life-sustaining dialysis services for tribal communities and other underprivileged patients in the region, who often face challenges in accessing essential healthcare facilities.

The dialysis machines were made possible through the generous support of M/s. Kaleesuwari Refinery Private Limited, M/s. Aqua World Exports Pvt. Ltd., M/s. Centaur Pharmaceuticals Pvt. Ltd., and Ms. Ridhi M. Shah. Their valuable contributions will help strengthen dialysis care and improve access to treatment for underserved communities.

TANKER Foundation has previously supported tribal healthcare by providing two dialysis machines to the Bethany Hospital serving tribal people in Anaikatti, Tamil Nadu. Both Koliyeri Mission Hospital in Wayanad and the Tribal Hospital at Anaikatti are run by Dr. Muralidhar & Dr. Ruth.

Through these initiatives, TANKER Foundation continues to support efforts to make dialysis treatment more accessible to underserved communities, particularly those living in tribal and remote areas.

Founded in June 1993, Tamilnad Kidney Research (TANKER) Foundation is a charitable organisation committed to providing free and subsidised dialysis, financial assistance for kidney transplantation, medicines and investigations to underprivileged patients with chronic kidney disease. The Foundation also conducts kidney health awareness programmes and screening camps to promote early detection and prevention of kidney disease.

TANKER Foundation expresses its sincere gratitude to all its supporters and partners for their continued commitment to improving access to essential kidney care and bringing hope to patients and families in need.
