Satara (Maharashtra) [India] October 9: Today, Crane (NYSE: CR) announced its partnership with Apollo Telemedicine Networking Foundation (ATNF), supporting healthcare access and community wellbeing as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiative in India. This collaboration marks the launch of a two-year Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) project in the rural areas of Satara district, continuing Crane India’s long-standing tradition of giving back, following earlier donations to Maher Orphanage during the 2018-2020 and 2021-2023 periods.
The new Crane sponsored MMU is a fully-equipped and self-contained mobile clinic. The unit is outfitted with medical and diagnostic equipment, a skilled healthcare team, and virtual access to specialized medical consultants via telemedicine. Services offered by the MMU include preventive care, primary health services, diagnostic screenings, and virtual specialist consultations, aiming to address the healthcare needs of underserved populations. Each unit will be staffed by a General Physician, paramedics, a pharmacist, and a social worker. The MMU will provide over 100 essential medicines and will operate Monday through Friday, with flexible weekend availability if necessary. The project is expected to treat more than 12,000 patients annually, deliver over 3,600 screenings for non-communicable diseases, and conduct awareness programs for over 3,600 beneficiaries each year.
