This initiative aims to provide quality maternity and childcare to help the underprivileged, advancing the Foundation's commitment towards rural development, and to provide better health infrastructure for the benefit of the society.

Previously, Infosys Foundation launched the Shree Sharadadevi Mobile Eye Hospital, a first-of-its-kind fully equipped mobile eye hospital to serve people residing in remote villages in Karnataka.

"We acknowledge the support of Infosys Foundation in developing the overall healthcare infrastructure of Karnataka. This initiative will not only address the medical needs of new mothers and their children but will also provide continued support in ensuring that they have access to affordable, quality healthcare", said Dr. K.
