LTM has partnered with several entities, including the Rotary Club, to help treat underprivileged children with serious medical conditions.
Victory over congenital heart defects!
LTM and healthcare partners help cure underprivileged children For thousands of children born into economically disadvantaged families, the barriers of cost and distance prevent them from obtaining treatment for a serious medical condition. To ensure children from economically disadvantaged families can access critical healthcare and receive the support required for successful treatment and recovery, LTM joined hands with leading healthcare partners.
Implemented in partnership with Apollo Children’s Hospital, Chennai, and supported through LTM’s CSR programme, the initiative brought together healthcare professionals, Rotary leaders and development partners to provide life-saving congenital heart care to these children. Over five years, Healing Tiny Hearts helped provide specialised treatment for over 3,500 children with congenital heart defects. The sixth edition, aimed at supporting an additional 500 children, was inaugurated on 31 July, in Chennai, and drew a distinguished gathering, including Archana Sahay (Global Head – ESG, LTM), Dr Ilankumaran Kaliamoorthy (CEO – Chennai Region, Apollo Hospitals) and Rtn. D Suresh Jain (District Governor, Rotary International District 3234), as well as other healthcare and community leaders devoted to improving healthcare access for vulnerable children.
Through Give4Life, implemented in partnership with Narayana Hrudayalaya Charitable Trust (NHCT) at Mazumdar Shaw Medical Centre, Bengaluru, underprivileged children receive treatment for blood disorders and different types of cancer. To date, 375 children have benefited from this partnership. LTM’s partnership with Access Life provides holistic support to children undergoing cancer treatment and bone marrow transplants, together with their caregivers. So far, 252 beneficiaries, including 84 children and 168 caregivers, have received support. LTM’s healthcare programmes have helped children and families face some of life’s toughest moments with hope and dignity. By pairing medical support with emotional, educational and rehabilitative care, these initiatives have opened pathways to recovery and brighter futures for hundreds of youngsters.
