Kochi: The Saudi Arabia-based Eram Group has set up a new hi-tech children’s clinic at Mankara Government Hospital in Palakkad district as part of its social responsibility initiative. A K Balan, Kerala Minister for Law, Culture and Parliamentary Affairs, inaugurated the hospital building on October 31 in the presence of Dr. Siddeek Ahmed, Chairman and Managing Director of Eram Group.

A native of Mankara, Dr. Siddeek Ahmed has built the new section as a memorial to his late mother Maryumma. The clinic will be renamed as ‘Maryumma Memorial Child Clinic’. Built to provide a calm and peaceful environment for children, the beautiful and compact building is suitable for multiple usages. The floors and walls are decorated with multi-coloured tiles and soothing paint. The hospital consists of office, rest room, lab, a treatment room, injection room and doctor’s examination room. The other facilities include a play area with swings, playground and carpeted greenery.

The agreement was entered into in 2015 with the panchayat for setting up the clinic. The consent for the clinic was sought by the panchayat as it involved private investment in the government sector. Dr. Siddeek Ahmed said the setting up of the clinic for children was encouraged by the fact that his mother was a loving and caring person, who loved children very much. He said that love and compassion for fellow beings are just a few of the good things that his mother taught him.

The initiative has helped stop the flow of water, causing the water level on that part of the river to rise.

It was following media reports about the collapse of the shutter that Dr. Siddeek Ahmed, MD, Eram Group has expressed his willingness to help replace the old broken shutters with new solid iron shutters.

The chiefs and members of local bodies as well as Eram Group representatives, who were present, led the initiative.

For numerous Malayali expatriates who are spending jailtime in the gulf with no legal or financial support, the ‘Swapnasafalyam’ project is a ray of hope. This is an initiative by NORKA, the Non Resident Keralites Affairs Department set up by the Kerala State Government to help those who have been jailed in various gulf countries for reasons beyond their control, and are unable to return home even after serving their time in prison.

HEALTH AND SANITATION: SOLUTIONS FOR THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE

One of the key social concerns of Eram Group is public sanitation. Lack of proper sanitation facilities causes dire health concerns including severe kidney diseases for an alarming number of people in India. Women especially suffer the worst, and countless children die every day due to unhygienic conditions. Concerned by this alarming trend, Dr. Ahmed initiated a Dialysis Project under which dialysis machines and medical aid have been provided for the benefit of numerous patients who suffer from severe kidney diseases. However, the effort does not stop there. The R & D wing of Eram Group developed an award-winning product called the eToilet to prevent this issue in the future. Today, these self-sustainable, self-cleaning eToilets have been installed in various public spaces across India. These eToilets require little to no maintenance and can be used by the public for free or for the cost of just one rupee. This is a huge step taken towards achieving the vision for a better future free of problems caused by improper sanitation.
