World Kidney Day, Thursday, March 12, 2026, was observed by the Valluvarkottam dialysis unit staff of TANKER Foundation with great dedication, starting with a colourful rangoli at the unit.

Apart from holding placards, since the unit is located in a busy area, the staff made use of the crowds to spread the message of maintaining kidney health.

They distributed caps and pamphlets containing the message of preventing kidney diseases to people travelling by share auto, auto drivers, customers at the road corner kiosk and people in the nearby park.

Medical Officer, Dr. Swarna Saravanan, participated in the programme.
