HCL Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of technology firm HCLTech, has donated advanced medical equipment to a government hospital in Uttar Pradesh state, the foundation said on Tuesday, as part of efforts to improve healthcare infrastructure in the region.

HCL Foundation provided the equipment to the Government Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) in Greater Noida, including a 3 Tesla high energy inductive therapy system for deep tissue healing, an intermittent compression therapy unit, a computerized balance evaluation system, a high power laser therapy unit, and a DEXA scan machine for bone health assessment.

The new equipment is expected to benefit more than 30,000 patients annually from Noida, Greater Noida, the Delhi National Capital Region and surrounding areas, HCL Foundation said.

“At HCL Foundation, we believe that quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone,” said Dr Nidhi Pundhir, Senior Vice President for Global CSR at HCLTech and Director at HCL Foundation.

The donation by HCL Foundation supports the Uttar Pradesh state government’s efforts to strengthen medical infrastructure and expand healthcare access in the region.

Brig. (Dr.) Rakesh Gupta, Director of GIMS, said the support from HCL Foundation would “significantly strengthen” the institute’s healthcare infrastructure and patient care capacity.
