Health and Nutrition
In rural and remote areas, where distance and limited infrastructure restrict access to essential healthcare, the Adani Foundation is bridging critical gaps by reaching the unreached and strengthening local health systems. Our mobile healthcare units, multi-speciality health camps, and rural clinics are vital in ensuring access to primary and secondary care to underserved and elderly people with limited mobility. By focussing on both preventive and curative approaches, the Foundation’s healthcare ecosystem is improving the well-being of India’s most vulnerable populations.
Our SuPoshan initiative is instrumental in mitigating malnutrition and anaemia among children, adolescent girls, and women. The project empowers village-level volunteers, SuPoshan Sanginis, who serve as catalysts for behavioural change by monitoring health, providing nutritional counselling, and facilitating life-saving medical treatment.

Adani Eye Care Programme
As per the World Health Organization (WHO), visual impairment affects 314 million people globally, including 45 million who are blind, despite over 80% of cases being preventable or treatable. Nearly 90% of those affected reside in the low- and middle-income countries, where access to eye care remains out of reach.
Launched in August 2024, the Adani Foundation’s Eye Care Programme aims to address this gap by providing eye screenings, primary eye-care services, and awareness on eye health to the school-going children, women, the elderly, and truck drivers. The initiative focusses on early detection and prevention of vision problems. Eyeglasses are also provided to the beneficiaries requiring corrective vision support.
Through this programme, the Adani Foundation reaffirms its commitment to preventive eye care, improving overall health and well-being

Restoring Health and Hope with MHCU
In Sengazhaneermedu village, Kattupalli, 42-year-old Marimuthu lived with constant pain due to a severe wound on his right heel from a rat bite, which remained unhealed for over six months. Repeated treatments at government and private hospitals brought little relief, making him unable to work or walk and deepening his anxiety about supporting his wife and two young sons.
His recovery began when he approached the Adani Foundation’s Mobile Healthcare Project. The MHCU team assessed his condition and implemented a personalised treatment plan with regular wound care and close monitoring. Over six months of consistent intervention, the wound healed completely. Marimuthu regained mobility, returned to work, and restored stability for his family. Today, Marimuthu’s smile reflects a renewed sense of hope and confidence.
