Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives

“Faith helps drive all action. I believe in the three Ps: purity, that your motivation is not for yourself; persistence, working hard and continuously on problems; and patience. Faith fortifies people in different ways.” – Dr Prathap C Reddy, Founder-Chairperson, Apollo group

The Apollo Foundation strives towards healthier humanity through a number of philanthropic ventures and collaborations. It is steered by founder-chairperson Dr Prathap C Reddy’s Total Health Cycle philosophy: to screen, diagnose, treat, educate, and empower.

The Foundation works across the country, serving over a lakh people, in urban, rural, and tribal settings. It pulls together different strands that lead to overall wellbeing: preventive and curative health, lifestyle modification and behaviour change, food and nutrition, life saving and life preserving services, education and learning, skill training and development, local infrastructure building and WASH.

Project Prashikshan conducts workshops on basic life support (BLS) for individuals and groups engaged in public service; Project Suraksha equips healthcare workers with essentials to help save lives. The foundation also has critical care units in certain populated areas of public interest.

SACHi

Saving A Child’s Health initiative (SACHi) is a not-for-profit organization based on the philosophy that every child has an equal right to access quality healthcare.

The organization also supports children’s homes with a periodic supply of medicines and supplements.
