CSR Activities

Since its inception, Sree Renga Hospital has consistently engaged with and collaborated with various community sectors, aiming to educate and empower individuals towards achieving a higher quality of life. Through its affiliate, the Chengalpattu Diabetic Care and Research Centre, the hospital has led efforts to raise awareness about diabetes and conduct free screening camps, both within the hospital and through outreach programs in over one hundred villages surrounding Chengalpattu. To date, more than 60,000 individuals have benefited from these free screenings.

Health Awareness Campaigns for a Healthy Lifestyle

Sree Renga Hospital is a strong proponent of promoting proactive health practices and habits. The hospital regularly hosts tailored programs for the general public, students (school and college), and paramedical staff to further these efforts.

For the Public: Through innovative methods such as puppet shows, live healthy cooking demonstrations tailored to local dietary preferences, student rallies, poster campaigns, and speech and essay contests, the hospital works to educate various societal groups on the importance of illness prevention.

For Students: The hospital has pioneered the establishment and mentorship of student-led Diabetes Education Clubs in over 200 government-run and aided schools and colleges across the Kancheepuram district. This was the first such initiative of its kind in Tamil Nadu, which has had a significant impact on diabetes awareness among the youth.

For Paramedical Personnel: Sree Renga Hospital has also taken significant steps in training Integrated Child Services Workers and Village Health Nurses in the fundamentals of diabetology. These trained professionals then serve as ambassadors, spreading the message of healthful living in their respective communities.

All these initiatives aim to reinforce the core message that prevention is indeed better than cure.

Free Diabetes Screening Camps

At the heart of Sree Renga Hospital’s mission is providing quality healthcare to underserved communities. The hospital regularly partners with prominent NGOs, such as the Lions Club International, to organize diabetes screening camps in schools, colleges, private institutions, and the broader communities surrounding Chengalpattu. Over the past three years, the hospital has successfully screened over 9,500 people, primarily from the villages of Kancheepuram district, for diabetes and associated health issues like heart disease, cataracts, retinopathy, and kidney complications. Early detection and treatment of these conditions have significantly reduced the clinical and economic burden at the population level, potentially saving numerous lives.

To date, more than 60,000 people have undergone free screening, embodying the hospital’s commitment to improving community health.
