The initiative was led by Dr.Neville Solomon, Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon at Chennai’s Apollo Children’s Hospital. He, along with his team, screened 83 children. 28 of these children were recommended for surgery.
\nAM International is committed to improving the health of the members of the most marginalised communities by providing them access to primary healthcare facilities. The Foundation undertakes the consolidated impact investing efforts of its member corporates.
\nThe age of the screened patients ranged from infants who were a few months old to 16-year-old children. The screening was conducted using an Echo 2D Cardiac Toppler, a sophisticated heart screening equipment. The medical team looked into a range of complaints among the patients, including breathing problems, lack of appetite, obesity, and other symptoms.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the success of the camp, Mr.Ashwin Muthiah, Chairman, AM Foundation and Founder Chairman, AM International, said, \u201cAt AM Foundation, we believe that no one should be deprived of quality healthcare because of their inability to afford such services.<\/p>\n

Paediatric cardiac care is an area that is neglected by caregivers because it is expensive and complex. Through the camp, I\u2019m happy that so many children benefited from the expert diagnosis of Dr.Solomon. I\u2019m also grateful for the support extended by Apollo Children\u2019s Hospital and Rotary Club of SPIC Nagar.<\/p>\n

Together, we aim to give children the gift of health. By doing so, we are insuring the future of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senior executives of Southern Petrochemicals Industrial Corporation (SPIC), including Mr.S.R.Ramakrishnan, Whole Time Director, Mr.E.Balu, Chief Operating Officer, attended the camp on behalf of AM Foundation.
