Healthcare centre opened at Pazhaverkadu
Staff Reporter
CHENNAI: KPMG Foundation, a body set up by KPMG International, commissioned two desalination plants and a healthcare centre at Pazhaverkadu in Tiruvallur recently as part of its initiative to rehabilitate tsunami victims.
According to a press release, the project was started with the assistance of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), which offered consulting services, and charitable trust Aim for Seva. They have been working together to enhance medical care and drinking water facilities in tsunami-affected villages across the State.
The two facilities would yield 1,000 litres of potable water per hour using reverse osmosis technology. This would supply drinking water to about 700 families in the neighbourhood of Thirumalai Nagar and Vairam Kuppam in Tiruvallur district.
The health centre set up in Pazhaverkadu would offer emergency and basic medical care to 15 villages in the neighbourhood. Residents would otherwise have to travel about 20 kms to reach the nearest hospital. The health centre would also promote the use of alternative treatments, the release said.
