TRANSITION FROM MEDICARE TO 'SURGICARE'
The first surgical team arrived on the 29th of March 2002, from Chengalpattu and that was the beginning of an extremely satisfying venture. Then there were no second line helpers such as nursing staff, O.T. assistants, cleaners, etc. The team was led by Prof. Devarajan (who commissioned the Boyle's Apparatus bought with his help) Drs. Giri, Hari, and Arasu filled up every gap, (instrument cleaning, linen washing and floor mopping etc). Nobody considered any work menial! They all helped us form a team that helps us now! God has so far helped us conduct the following camps.

Even in any medium-sized set up other than government institutions, each of these surgeries would have cost anything between 5 to 25 thousand rupees.
Thanks be to God Almighty who helped us to help these people with out any monitory demands from any of them, only because very many children of the mighty God extended their helping hand even without our asking!
