L&T understands that the status of healthcare is one of the critical measures of a nation's performance. The Company's priority is to identify and analyse the possible barriers in accessing healthcare, provide affordable healthcare services and make modern equipment and treatment available to all. It focuses on creating awareness and imparting health education in communities so as to reduce expenses for patients as well as the burden on the country’s limited healthcare system. L&T pays special attention to the health needs of vulnerable groups–such as children, women, disabled and the aged–and makes mental health services accessible.
