AM Foundation delivers free primary healthcare through a network of 11 Primary Health Care Centres (PHCCs) in Thoothukudi and Chennai, a Dr Mobile mobile medical clinic, AM Laboratory diagnostic centres, and periodic Health & Education Camps covering cardiac, eye, diabetes, cancer, and general screening. Beyond clinical care, the foundation constructs sanitation blocks in government schools, runs the Happy Periods menstrual hygiene program with Sanitation First India, and distributes Nutrition Mix supplements to vulnerable children, pregnant women, and the elderly. All services are funded through CSR contributions from AM International Holdings member corporates and provided at no cost to beneficiaries in Tamil Nadu.

Product overview

AM Foundation operates a unified CSR-driven service portfolio focused on primary healthcare delivery, sanitation, and community wellness. Its core offerings include: Primary Health Care Centres (PHCCs) — physical outpatient clinics established near member corporate plant sites in Thoothukudi and Chennai, providing immunisation, health education, and basic diagnostics; Dr Mobile — a mobile medical van extending healthcare to underserved areas; AM Laboratory — on-site diagnostic centres in Chennai and Thoothukudi; and Health & Education Camps — periodic screening camps covering cardiac, eye, diabetes, cancer, and general health needs. Complementing these are the Happy Periods Project (menstrual hygiene education with Sanitation First India), Nutrition Mix distribution for vulnerable populations, and Sanitation Blocks Construction in schools and households. All services are delivered in partnership with member corporates, government bodies, and NGOs, and are consolidated under a single CSR umbrella without a software product or technology platform.
