In observance of World Kidney Day 2024, the TANKER Foundation organized a screening camp for 200 autorickshaw drivers in Chennai. The drivers underwent screenings for various health parameters including body mass index, blood sugar level, blood pressure, and creatinine level, along with receiving doctor consultations.
This initiative aims to extend to 1.65 lakh autorickshaw drivers in the city gradually, emphasizing the importance of kidney health and equitable access to healthcare services. The foundation’s ongoing efforts underscore its commitment to promoting health awareness and preventive care among vulnerable occupational groups.
