A nation grows to its full potential only when those at the bottom of the pyramid have access to health facilities. All development initiatives fail to make an impact if they are not addressed to a population marked by healthy minds lodged in healthy bodies. With this understanding, and a firm belief that India’s growth story will be incomplete if it is not directed towards inclusive growth, ACM GIDF has a separate wing to take health care to the impoverished and often neglected hinterlands of India.
Our objective is simple – to make those living on the edge access health benefits to make them able enough to participate in the process of development. Unfortunately, huge tracts of rural India still do not have access to even the most basic healthcare facilities. A large number of people in India still stay in darkness when it comes to understanding hygiene and basic preventive measures to block killer diseases.

That’s a situation that needs be handled on war footing – nothing less would do.

No wonder then, reproductive health of women falls far behind in the list of family priorities.

Facing the target of improving rural India’s access to healthcare is complicated, mainly because of the lack of adequate infrastructure. Even where there is the basic infrastructure, finding the right manpower to hold forth is tough, because trained people often go in for better and more financially viable options.

HIV/AIDS Programme
Guna in Madhya Pradesh is a major trucker’s halt. Truckers are recognized ‘transmission-bridges’ of HIV/AIDS and fall within the high risk category. We have been in close contact with the truckers in Guna, thanks to our long-standing CSR partnership with GAIL (India) Ltd. All through this partnership.

Past Health Initiatives
A strong and sound system of health leads to a strong and sound nation – that’s been the belief of ACM GIDF ever since its inception.
