" From those to whom much is given, much is expected - Mary Gates "
Max India Foundation supports programs that seek to improve access to quality healthcare for underprivileged populations.
To help us achieve this, we have joined hands with similar-spirited organizations covering a spectrum of activities
Healthcare for underprivileged children
Pinky, a bubbly young girl was afflicted with a rare heart disorder. Her father, a poor sweeper, was unable to pay the INR 200,000, the usual charges for such an operation. We stepped in and performed it free of cost. Pinky is now a healthy teenager looking to the future. Through MAX HEALTHCARE with its exemplary network of hospitals, medcentres and state of the art institutes. Max India Foundation has been able to help nearly a hundred such severely ill children, regain normal lives. Their smiles are our reward
A helping hand, A caring attitude
Often, the underprivileged do not have access to quality medical facilities simply because of lack of easy access.
Max India Foundation, in partnership with Chinmaya Mission, is running a health centre in New Delhi's Sunlight Colony to serve the needy and disadvantaged in this area
Making a better life for children
" We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." - Winston Churchill
Feeding, clothing and educating a child is not enough. A child also needs to have a sense of belonging. SOS Children's Villages fill this need in orphaned and abandoned children by providing them with not only an education and upbringing but also a home, a family and a community.
We are proud to contribute to SOS Children's Village through MAX NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY LIMITED
Assuring cancer patients
Cancer patients and their families need support and reassurance to cope with the long-drawn out treatment and its side-effects. Max India Foundation has partnered with Can Support to offer palliative care to advanced cancer patients, from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Can Support offers free services such as Home Care, Day Care, counseling and therapy through centres across Delhi and NCR, by a team of dedicated nurses, doctors and volunteers
Max India Foundation is committed to sponsoring and supporting more such field centres.
Helping people walk and then run.
Max India Foundation works with Manav Seva Sannidhi to provide free artificial limbs and polio calipers to people with disability. The unique feature of this program is the emotional and psychological support provided to help each patient cope with their handicap, ensuring a high rate of success.
Education, healthcare & awareness initiatives
Teach a child and you create a better world. In the same spirit, Max India Foundation with Max Speciality Products which is located there has adopted the local government high school at Rail Majra village near Ropar, Punjab
The foundation provides books, stationery and clothes to the children. A health centre is being set up in the village. This will pave the way to regular health camps for detection and treatment of disease where free or subsidized treatment will be offered.
School children and their families will be taught basic hygiene and made aware of health-related issues.

July
Environment tip of the month : - " LET'S CLEAN UP "
Littering of Garbage upsets us all and we blame everyone possible. This month, let us see how each one of us can "make a difference" by keeping the space in our own vicinity spotlessly clean.
Some simple tips :-
Don't throw ANYTHING on roads, in parks or public places. Use a dustbin.
Separate biodegradable waste (mostly kitchen waste) and dispose separately from non-biodegradable waste. Those who have gardens, make a compost pit for the biodegradable waste. This will transform into excellent manure.
Use a jute Max India Foundation bag for shopping. Avoid poly bags which are difficult to dispose and clog drains.
At work, home or outdoors remember "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
A little consideration for others will go a long way in keeping our Environment clean.
August
Environment tip of the month : - " RECYCLE "
Recycling is the reprocessing of old materials into new products, with the aim of preventing waste of potentially useful materials, reducing the consumption of fresh raw materials and energy usage. It also means taking a product of material at the end of its useful life and turning it into a usable raw material to make another product.
Tips to Recycle : -
Use every envelope you receive in the mail for scrap paper. You could keep a stack of envelopes by the phone for taking messages.
Use full page sheets that are blank on the back for longer writings. Staple a bunch of them together to make a notebook.
Save paper by only printing what you really need to and print on both sides so less paper and energy is wasted.
Unwrap gifts carefully so you don't tear the wrapping paper. Fold the paper and save the ribbon - both can be reused.
Remember to re-use all plastic and paper bags.
Let us recycle. Share your experiences of recycling.
September
Environment tip of the month : - " Rain & Diseases "
This year we have had a long monsoon, which leaves behind a host of illnesses and diseases. Here's how to keep yourself and your family safe this season.
Mosquitoes abound and cases of Malaria and Dengue are on the upswing. A mosquito net around the bed not only looks lovely and Victorian, but also keeps mosquitoes away and is a better option than sleeping with a mosquito coil right next to you. Carry a mosquito repellant cream with you and give a small tube to children.
Drink boiled water in the monsoon and at a restaurant make it a point to drink bottled water or a soft drink instead of regular water.
It is essential that children dress appropriately in the monsoon. Make sure your children wear gumboots in the monsoon season so that their feet remain dry and clean.
Always wash your hands after using the toilet and before eating, and make it a habit not to touch your face with your hands.
Prevent your children from biting their nails as this will cause them to ingest any infection that may be on their hands.
Don't eat uncooked food like salads outside the home during the monsoon.
Storing water in copper or silver vessels is not just a fashion statement! Doing so kills all germs and sterilizes the water.
October
Environment tip of the month : - " Celebrate an ECO-SENSITIVE Festive season "
Festivals are significant contributors to AIR POLLUTION leading to lung cancer, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and allergies. Skin problems, eye irritation wheezing and shortness of breath are other harmful effects.
NOISE POLLUTION with crackers causes distress in the Elderly, sick, infants and pets.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER DURING THE DAY. WATER THE PLANTS AS USUAL.
The only way to prevent a cold is to build up immunity and protect yourself from infection.
EAT NUTRITIOUS FOOD, EXERCISE, SLEEP WELL AND WASH YOUR HANDS THOROUGHLY.
Low hanging dust and smoke particles can lead to serious respiratory and eye disorders.
TAKE PRECAUTIONS. ENSURE YOU DO NOT CONTRIBUTE TO ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION. DO NOT KEEP HEATERS & FIRES ON AT NIGHT WHILE SLEEPING. COAL & WOOD FIRE SHOULD BE PUT OUT OF THE ROOM TO AVOID SUFFOCATION.
If you see someone without a smile give him/her one of yours, thereby spreading warmth.
December
Environment tip of the month : - " MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY 'GREEN' NEW YEAR "
Here are some quick and easy tips which can be adopted each day to make your home more energy efficient and reduce your carbon footprint.
Unplug the charger on your Blackberry (TM), cell phone or iPod (TM) when you are finished charging. Even if the device isn't connected, energy continues to seep out through the charger itself.
Let the sunshine in. Open the drapes or blinds on sunny days and bask in the 'free' heat. Keep those south-facing windows squeaky clean to let the light through. Remember to close the drapes or blinds when the sun sets.
