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 way below the poverty line.
Making healthcare affordable and reachable even to those who can't afford the
minimum expenditure for Healthcare is the objective 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 of Sakthi Sugars Limited, for their families and to the local rural population.
