Infosys Foundation Supports PGIMER's Mother and Child Centre with ₹147 Crore Grant
Infosys Foundation granted over ₹147 crore for medical equipment at PGIMER's new Advanced Mother and Child Centre. Inaugurated on July 22, 2026, by the Prime Minister, the center will benefit over 25,000 mothers and newborns annually, aiming to reduce mortality rates and improve healthcare access.
While the initiative is positive and impactful for the community served by PGIMER, it is a CSR activity and does not directly impact Infosys's core business operations or financial results significantly.
The announcement details a significant philanthropic contribution towards improving healthcare infrastructure and access, which is a positive development.
Infosys Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Infosys, has announced the inauguration of an advanced mother and neonatal care facility at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh. The Foundation committed a grant of over ₹147 crore towards critical medical equipment for the newly opened Advanced Mother and Child Centre (AMCC). This initiative aims to strengthen maternity and neonatal care, reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rates, and provide low-income families with access to high-quality, affordable healthcare.
The AMCC was inaugurated on July 22, 2026, by the Hon'ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, in the presence of several dignitaries including the Hon'ble Governor of Punjab, the Hon'ble Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare, and other senior government officials. The center is equipped with comprehensive facilities including triage and emergency services, labor and delivery units, resuscitation facilities, intensive care units for both mothers and newborns, modular operation theatres, a blood bank, a human milk bank, and a kangaroo mother care ward.
This new center is expected to benefit over 25,000 pregnant women and newborns annually. Prof Vivek Lal, Director of PGIMER, expressed gratitude for the support, highlighting the center's role in expanding access to quality care. Sunil Kumar Dhareshwar, Trustee of Infosys Foundation, stated that the support aligns with the Foundation's commitment to transformative healthcare initiatives that create a lasting societal impact.
