FM’s Heartfelt Visit to Basavatarakam: A Call for Collective Action
The Power of CSR: A Shared Responsibility
A recent visit by a delegation of Facility Managers (FMs) from TFMC to the Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital and Research Institute proved to be a touching experience. Around 50 FMs, including Satya Narayana Mathala and other distinguished members, came together to witness the exemplary care the hospital provides to cancer patients. Guided by the hospital’s head, Dr. K. Krishnaiah, and Nara Brahmani, a new trustee board member, the visit shed light on the institution’s unwavering commitment to holistic cancer care.
During the tour, the FMs witnessed not just the state-of-the-art facilities but also the humane and patient-centric approach embraced by the hospital staff. It was an experience that transcended professional boundaries, touching the core of human empathy and responsibility.
The discussions pivoted toward a promising idea: leveraging corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives to support Basavatarakam. The FMs explored how their organizations could step forward to contribute to the hospital’s mission, ensuring better access to treatment for those in need.
The meeting illuminated the potential for Facility Managers to act as catalysts, bridging their companies’ CSR efforts with impactful causes like Basavatarakam’s. Whether it’s fundraising, sponsoring treatments, or upgrading medical infrastructure, the scope is immense. This collaboration could help amplify the hospital’s reach, ensuring that no patient is left behind.
The visit ended with a shared resolve among the FMs to champion this cause within their networks. It’s more than a professional initiative; it’s about giving back to the community and being part of a larger change.
As Satya Narayana Mathala aptly remarked, “Facilities extend beyond buildings; they build lives too.” This visit was a testament to that vision, underscoring the pivotal role Facility Managers can play in shaping a more compassionate society.
