RAJKUMAR Ramasamy and his wife, Mary, have spent the past 20 years of their lives running a model primary healthcare centre at KC Patty (short for Kilakkuchettipatti), a village 50 km from Kodaikanal in Tamil Nadu. As villages go in these parts, KC Patty is a big one because it has 800 people. The other villages are smaller with just 200 people living in each of them. Many of them are surrounded by reserve forests and the only way to get to them is on foot.
The centre is simply called the KC Patty CF Primary Health Centre. . .
