Clinical Services

My name is Panchavarnam. I am 22 years old. Four years ago I was married to Subbu pf G. Kalluppti he was an alcoholic addict and an irresponsible man. He tortured me in an un told manner almost on every day. His tortured being unbearable I decided to commit suicide. I poured kerosene oil over me and set fire. My mother who was around the place rushed in and extinguished the fire. I was with burn injuries above the hip and on the left arm. On hearing about the incident the health staff of RTU hastened to my house with first aid assistance. After two weeks treatment at local hospital I was sent to "Pasam Trust" Kodaikkanal for plastic surgery expert treatment. I have undergone surgery by German experts there to correct the burnt scar. After 4 months care and treatments.I returned home. now i am living with

myparents. My father is blind and getting monitory assistance from RTU and my mother is dumb. All my medical needs are attended by RTU clinic. I am now working in a textile mill as daily wage labourer and earning my livelihood. I am grateful to RTU for the timely assistance it has offered me during my great need.
