Written ByRajni Jagannath


YOUR PRESENCE MATTERS....YOUR PRESENCE CAN CHANGE...


They are Real Heroes...The Changers...
BE INSPIRED BY THEM
Again Dr Lalita is my Batchmate..I am proud to have seen the doctor in her blossoming.....in ther 1980's
Still fascinating me and inspiring me...
Dr Regi M George and Dr lalitha Regi
Social Welfare

Tamil Nadu's Sitilingi valley had the highest infant and maternal mortality rate in the country. That's till a doctor couple from Kerala, Regi and Lalitha George decided to make this place their home. In the last two decades the doctors have worked tirelessly to set up the Tribal Health Initiative. What started off as a clinic from a thatched hut is now a 24 bed hospital. And infant mortality rate has come down to 20 per 1000. Training young tribal girls in nursing, the doctors have made the area self sufficient in health care.
Tribal Health Initiative THI was founded by Dr. Regi George and Dr. Lalitha Regi in 1993. As of 2010 it has grown to include a 24-bed hospital with a labour room, neonatal unit, operation theatre, diagnostic laboratory and imaging facilities, a community health outreach programme, an organic farming initiative and a craft initiative
