Hospital and Health Center
Scientific inventions in the branch of medicine have brought in much advancement in diagnosing and treating diseases. But ultra-modern laboratories and sophisticated hospitals have also made healthcare a costly affair for people with lesser income and impossible for people well below the poverty line.
Making healthcare affordable and reachable even to those who can't afford the minimum expenditure for healthcare is one of the objectives of Sakthi Foundation. With this resolve, the Foundation has been sponsoring Voluntary Health Services and has been running the following hospitals to provide Quality healthcare and Medical facilities to the employees and families of Sakthi Sugars Limited, and to the local rural population.
