SGS Charitable Clinic

Sachchidananda Nagar, Velachery

9790972785/ 7010032596

This Sunday clinic was initiated under the shade of an avadumbara tree at a modest place at Sachchidananda Nagar in Velachery by Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda in 1989. Gynaecologist Ponnammal Panchapakesan was the first doctors serve at the clinic. She would attend to patients every Sunday. The clinic now runs every day and is led by a team of doctors.

From Monday to Saturday, the clinic is open from 6.45 a.m. to 8.30 a.m. and on a Sunday, the work time is extended by an hour. “Consultation is free for all but medicines are given free of cost only to the underprivileged,” says Dr A Sivasubramanian, medical convenor. While a general physician is available on all days, an eye specialist and paediatrician can be consulted every Saturday and Sunday respectively.

The facility also hosts the meetings of Alcoholic Anonymous and has consultation for de-addiction every day. Once in a month, it also opens its doors for a free diabetic camp. Besides services at the facility, it takes up rural camps at Perukkaranai Village in Kancheepuram and Krishnan Karanai village on ECR.
