The Genesis |
| |
The T T Ranganathan Clinical Research Foundation, “TTK Hospital”, is a pioneer, voluntary organization dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of people addicted to alcohol and other drugs. |
|
| |
| The TTK Hospital was born of Shanthi Ranganathan’s personal experience and determination. At the prime of youth, her husband, Ranganathan, fell a victim to alcoholism. This prompted a determined Shanthi to prepare herself for the purposeful task ahead – establishing a mission born of compassion and personal grief. Her vision of giving a new life to thousands of individuals affected by addiction and rebuilding their broken families became a reality due to the generosity and support
of the TTK group of companies. |

The T T Ranganathan Clinical Research Foundation, as it was named had its beginnings in 1980 as a day care center for treating alcoholics. In 1985, the therapeutic services were extended to drug dependent persons as well. |

Addiction management, however, is essentially a group programme. As patients began to arrive from different parts of India, Shanthi Ranganathan felt the need to change it to an in-patient programme, thus increasing the effectiveness of treatment. In 1987, the TTK Hospital was established, a 65 bed treatment and rehabilitation center offering a month-long residential programme. Its ambience is one of unconditional support and hope for the patients, its charm, an abundance of empathy and compassion. |
