Vadamalayan Hospitals organized press meet in the verge of Corporate social activities launch commemorating 60th year celebration of Vadamalayan Hospitals.

Chairman & Managing Director Dr.V.Pugalagiri and Joint Managing Director Mrs.Chandra Pugalagiri explained CSR Activities.

S.NO CSR ACTIVITY

• Free treatment for childhood cancer
• Job opportunities for Transgender
• Anemia Detection Treatment and Health Awareness Programme for corporation schools in and around Madurai

In India out of 100 cancer patients 3 or 4 are below 15 years of age. Before thirty years the cure rate was only 30% in childhood cancers. This was due to lack of access to care, stigma of cancer and financial constraints. Now the situation has changed. More than 80% of childhood cancers are curable which is due to the availability and optimal use of multimodality treatment in oncology with inputs from medical, radiation and surgical oncologists ( as a team ), technical advances in lab diagnostics, blood donation and enormous resilience shown by little children and their parents.

This has initiated us to introduce a new project called “ ADITYA JOTHI” which means a person who gives light into one’s life. In this project we render free treatment for below poverty children suffering from cancer

between the age from 4 to 15 years. The treatment cost will be approximately Rs.1.5 lakhs to 2 lakhs per children. This project will definitely provide benefit to poor families.

The second CSR activity is employment for transgender at Vadamalayan Hospitals. Vadamalayan Hospitals is initiating job opportunities for transgender to uplift their lifestyle.

And the third CSR activity is to provide Anemia detection treatment & health awareness for 60 corporation & Govt schools in and around Madurai. Good Nutrition, Exercise, Health & Hygiene helps a child to stay healthy. To accomplish this an unique health awareness programme is to be carried out by Vadamalayan Hospitals.
