The initiative was officially inaugurated today by Rtn. Holger Knaack, and Trustee Chairman of The Rotary Foundation and District Governor Rtn D Devendran, DIST3233. The project represents a significant achievement for RCCC, showcasing the club’s ability to mobilize international resources for local healthcare transformation.
Bridging the Gap in Critical Care Identifying a vital need for advanced neonatal support, the Rotary Club of Chennai Capital spearheaded Global Grant GG2463319. Under the leadership of President Rtn. Apoorva Modi, the club successfully coordinated a tripartite partnership involving Rotary Dist 5330 (USA) and the Rotary Club of Melawati (Malaysia).
