On Friday, May 22, 2026, Tulu Koota Kuwait (TKK) organised a free medical consultation camp at Badr Medical Center in Farwaniya, offering health check‑ups to roughly one hundred members of the Tulu‑speaking community.
Founded in 2000, the cultural association has spent 26 years promoting the language and heritage of Tulu Nadu while partnering with the Indian Embassy in Kuwait on education, culture and welfare projects. This latest initiative aimed to raise health awareness and provide easy access to professional advice without cost.
Qualified doctors and nurses from Badr Medical Center conducted individual consultations, performed basic health assessments and shared practical tips on lifestyle management and early detection of common ailments. Participants also received a nutritious breakfast, creating a comfortable environment for dialogue.
Feedback from attendees highlighted genuine gratitude for the opportunity to obtain expert guidance locally. Many expressed intent to schedule regular check‑ups, echoing the camp's broader message of proactive health management.
President Vijay Kumar Kairangala thanked the medical team, volunteers, and community members whose cooperation made the event possible. He praised the seamless coordination that allowed the program to run without delays.
Advisor Abdul Razak, manager of Badr Medical Center, commended TKK for the effort, noting the positive ripple effect such health camps have on public well‑being. Al Mulla International Exchange representative Paresh Patidar also lauded the association's dedication to social welfare.
The strong turnout underscores a rising demand for affordable healthcare services among expatriates in Kuwait and demonstrates the impact of collaborative outreach. Tulu Koota Kuwait plans to replicate the model in future months, reinforcing its commitment to the health and unity of the coastal Karnataka diaspora.
