Philosophy
Every diabetic family needs trained help at home
Most diabetes care happens at home, not in hospital. A family member or neighbour who can check sugar, BP and feet correctly — and knows when to call a doctor — prevents many emergencies.
Practical skills over theory
After a lifetime in the laboratory, he believes skills are learned by doing. Every student handles the real equipment, takes real readings and practises until confident.
Tamil first
Health knowledge should not be locked behind English. Classes, handouts and patient guidance are in Tamil, so any student or family member can follow.
