Rotary makes dialysis accessible
Rotary Club of Hassan Hoysala, RID 3182, through a global grant, set up a haemodialysis centre with three machines at the Sanjeevani Cooperative Hospital in Hassan, near Bengaluru.
A safe water supply system and a UPS were also provided at the centre through the project. The hospital’s founder, Dr Gururaj Hebbar was the charter president of the club. RC Hollis Brookline, RID 7870, USA, was the international partner for the project.
The host club augmented the centre’s capacity to deliver dialysis treatment by providing three more machines with the help of the Bangalore Kidney Foundation. DG B C Geetha, project coordinator Preeti Mohan and DRFC P Narayan were present at the inaugural of the centre.
