We’re proud to be featured in NDTV’s The Changemakers series! Together with Abbott, we’re working to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, enhance service delivery, and raise community awareness - ensuring timely access to essential health services. #Americares @AmericaresIndia
Abbott: Strengthening access to healthcare where it matters the most Quality & affordable care should never be out of reach. Primary Health Centers (PHCs) serve as the first point of care for millions in underserved areas. In support of the Ayushman Bharat initiative to transform these centers into comprehensive Health and Wellness Centers, Abbott has collaborated with Americares India Foundation. So far, 216 centers have been upgraded, and by 2026, this effort will extend to over 300 centers with the potential to improve the lives of over 9.8 million people across India. Watch how Abbott & Americares are strengthening healthcare infrastructure, enhancing service delivery, and improving community awareness - ensuring timely access to essential health services - on The Changemakers Season 5, only on NDTV. #Abbott #TheChangemakers #PHCUpgrade #HealthcareAccess #NDTVChangemakers #AmericaresIndia #NCDs #HealthForAll #PrimaryCare Venu Ambati Nandini Goswami Poonam Sharma Deepshikha Mukerji Mandira Viegas VS Chandrashekar Kartik Rajendran Kunal Chowdhury Ramanathan Varadarajan Ishteyaque Amjad Manish Chhetri Srikrishna Sridhar Murthy Americares India Abbott The Changemakers Sattva Consulting

Half of Gaza’s hospitals are not operating, and the ones that are still open are only partially functioning. Health facilities are under attack and running out of critically needed medicines and supplies, hindering the delivery of lifesaving health services. Not a single hospital can provide the full care people need right now. And with malnutrition surging, health needs will only increase. Humanitarian corridors must be opened to ensure families can receive access to desperately needed aid. #Americares #Gaza

Widespread starvation, malnutrition and disease is ravaging Gaza. These conditions cause a higher risk of infection, death and lifelong harm to brain development, creating an unimaginable health situation for mothers and their children. This crisis is entirely preventable. Lifesaving food and medical aid must be allowed in before it’s too late. #Gaza #Americares

245 tonnes of aid delivered in just 6 months! 🚚🌍 Since 2024, the Fondation CMA CGM has been supporting Americares through the Containers of Hope program — helping deliver life-saving medicines and medical supplies around the world. In the first half of 2025 alone, this partnership enabled the shipment of nearly 250 tonnes of aid to 12 countries, from Lebanon to Zambia. Each shipment helps strengthen access to essential healthcare for communities in need, as explained by Rita, one of many beneficiaries supported by Americares💙 This powerful partnership shows how logistics can truly serve humanitarian action. #ContainersofHope #FondationCMACGM #Americares #HumanitarianAid
