OUR MESSAGE

Strength in Service: A Message from the President

Dr. Rajammal Jayakumar

Past President of ATMA

As you all know all our members are doing a lot of charitable works. At include a few of them, Dr. Kabilan and Dr. Einstein are doing many projects, the BLS (Basic Life Support) is very important one. ATMA has sponsored artificial limbs, wheelchairs, and walking sticks to Leprosy people in Dharmapuri district.

As ATMA member and president, I did conduct BLS in two schools (Total of 100 students from 10th to 12th grade), sponsored for 50 cataract surgeries in Salem Eye Hospital in 2023.

I request all members to report their charitable medically related work to ATMA (ATMA President or Board Chair). If anyone has any important project, please present it to the Project Committee well ahead, so that they can discuss and approve it.

Now we are in the process of conducting ATMA Convention, which is conducted once in two years. This year, it will be held in Fresno, California, from August 22 to 24, 2025. Please try to attend the convention and pass on the message to your ATMA friends. I wish this convention would be a very successful one, with all your cooperation.

Thanks for all your charitable work.
