Saving A Child’s Health Initiative (SACHi) is an initiative of Apollo Hospitals to address the critical health needs of underprivileged children and ensure life-saving treatment. Illness among the poor is a double burden and it is estimated that around 1.73 million children in India die every year due to not being able to avail of medical treatment. Thousands of underprivileged children live with debilitating medical conditions that make them unable to lead a healthy and happy life, as all children deserve. Socio-economically underprivileged parents do not have the resources to help save their children. Apollo Hospitals believes these are lives that can be saved. 

With Saving A Child’s Heart Initiative in the past, one of Asia’s largest charitable organisations dedicated to providing paediatric care (link here to existing SACHi website), led by the vision of Apollo Hospitals Chairman Dr Prathap C. Reddy, the lives of thousands of babies and children across India who suffered from congenital heart disease such as hole in the heart or impaired valve functioning were saved. 

Apollo Hospitals wants to do more and the achievements of SACHi have spurred the launch of Saving A Child’s Health Initiative (SACHi),  a non-governmental organization that aims to cover treatment of cardiac and other critical health conditions of underprivileged children who require surgery as well as children who require treatment of chronic health conditions. 

With Apollo Hospitals, India’s leading multi-specialty healthcare services provider operating across all major cities of the country, and the best doctors and surgeons ready to lend their healing touch, SACHi aims to be a beacon of hope for those children and their families who would otherwise be unable to afford specialized medical treatment.
