Our History
The concept of a Charitable Dialysis Centre emerged from the need for the dialysis facilities for a vast number of rural patients with renal failure.As we know, these patients are unable to afford the huge cost incurred in renal replacement therapy for a sustained life.It is pathetic that even in the modern era, this facility is made available mainly in cities,thus depriving the poor and weak of their livelihood.
In our endeavour to provide free or subsidised dialysis facilities to the rural people of Malabar, we identified ourselves with the charitable and missionary work carried out by the Puthupadi Ashram,founded by sabha Ratnam H.G.Dr.Geevarghese Mar Osthathios whose only mission in life was “service to the needy”.We are fortunate enough to be assosiated with Valiya Bava H.H Baselios Marthoma Didymus 1, the then metropolitan of the Malabar Diocese.We are proud that we continue to enjoy the favours and patronage of H.G Dr.Zachariah Mar Theophilos. metropolitian of Malabar Diocese, H.g Dr.Zachariah Mar Aprem,Metropolitian of Adoor & Kadambanad,V.Rev.K.I.Philip,Ramban of Puthupadi Ashram,St.George Charitable Clinic of St.George Orthodox Cathedral Kozhikode & Mar Baselioius Movement,kuwait.With their immense support and benevolence we commenced the Dialysis on 8th December 2013 and the centre was officialoy inagurated by H.H Baselios Marthoma Paulose II (CathOlicose of the East & Malankara Metropolitian) on 24th February 2014.
This centre is the first of its kind in the history of Malankara Orthadox Church and is one of the major projects in commemoration of hte catholicate centenary in Malabar Diocese.
