Newsletter July 2019

Hello Readers!!!

July 1st is celebrated as Doctors’ Day in India. We, at Kauvery, wish all the doctors a very HAPPY DOCTORS’ Day!!!

This month, let us take a minute, to look at the wonderful work that doctors do, and applaud the hard journey they take, to get to, where they are now.

The medical profession is recognized and awarded with the adjective “NOBLE” to it and a DOCTOR …is a very special person. “The one-day relationship becomes a lifelong friendship”! We earn the utmost respect from the society, and is seen at par with GOD. Dear doctors, let us continue to do our noble work with our vision and mission focussed on the benefit of the society, as we always do!

What is Urinary Tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli.

These bacteria can enter the lungs through air. If the resistance offered by the body’s immune system is ineffective, then the bacteria can grow and settle in the lungs. They can also spread through the blood stream and settle and develop lesions in any part of the body. Tuberculosis, though common in the lungs, can affect almost any part of the body. In the urinary tract, infection starts in the kidney. From there, it can spread to the ureter and the urinary bladder.

Project Thalirgal

“Kauvery hospital is an excellent hospital and it was a very pleasant experience. Doctors were very hospitable and very knowledgeable. Their patience is adorable. Similarly the staff are so cooperative and patient. Ward boy Rabani was always volunteering to help and was very responsible. Thanks to Selvi the ward boy supervisor.
