ICICI Foundation, the CSR arm of ICICI Bank, has advanced healthcare access for over 9,100 patients across Northeast India since 2023. Focused on improving infrastructure and medical accessibility, the foundation has supported critical services in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, and Tripura.
The foundation has provided over 60 essential medical devices, including video bronchoscopes, ultrasound machines, dialysis units, and endoscopes, with a focus on TB treatment, cancer care, and dialysis services. Mobile medical units, ambulances, and emergency equipment further boost healthcare delivery in these underserved areas. Notably, in Assam, ICICI Foundation installed 25 dialysis units across several districts, bringing treatment closer to patients with kidney issues.
In Meghalaya, the initiative has positively impacted the Shillong market, where ICICI Foundation’s provision of a video bronchoscope at Reid Provincial Chest Hospital has improved TB and lung disease diagnoses. This has stimulated growth in Shillong’s healthcare sector, increasing demand for skilled healthcare professionals and fostering investment in specialized medical services.
