M/S Ganesh Mandali of Nanganallur started a “Health Centre” in 1970 in a small hut in 2nd Main Road Nanganallur.M/S Engine Valve Ltd jointly developed the health center in 1971. The chairman of M/s Engine Valves, Mr Sidney, donated 10000 Sterling Pounds in the year 1973 and the health center acquired the present lands and building which was after Mr Sidney’s wife and became the “Margaret Sidney Hospital”. The past district governor of RI District 3230 late K.S. Srinivasan and the Charter President of Rotary Club of Madras Central, Rtn. C.R. Ramakrishnan, helped the hospital to be taken over Rotary Club of Madras Central in the year 1983. |
