"Thank you for arranging our visit to Karaveddy Hospital a memorable one. Mr Ponnampalam is very dedicated and committed to this community hospital. He was very helpful, showed us around and explained in detail about funding and running of the hospital. Your contribution appear enormous. Dr Mangayarmani is efficient, dedicated and busy. Dr (Miss) Sivanesan (Dental Surgeon) is pleasant and showed as around with Mr Ponnampalam. The whole set up looked very clean, well-organised and appeared like a private wing in NHS Hospital in UK.

I understand you all are working towards making efficient use of the Antenatal and Maternity facility which is a very nice set-up but, hardly used at present as no VOG cover and only one midwife in post. VOG cover from Base Hospital, Manthikai will make best utilisation. Once this is in place then this hospital will become a Model Peripheral Hospital for others to emulate and convince expatriates to provide private financial funding for facilities which Health Department do not provide."
