SMFG India Credit’s CSR initiatives in healthcare focus on enhancing access to primary health services and promoting well-being in underserved communities. We collaborate with trusted local partners to deliver preventive care, health awareness programs, and vision care. Through community outreach and health camps, we aim to build a healthier, more resilient society—where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Health awareness and access to primary care are central to SMFG India Credit’s Niramaya initiative, which aims to improve the social well-being of underserved communities through impactful health programs and the promotion of best practices.
To overcome barriers to healthcare access in rural areas, SMFG India Credit introduced Mobile Health Vans (MHVs)—bringing essential medical services directly to people’s doorsteps. These vans offer continuous, affordable, and accessible care, especially in remote regions.
Currently, 18 MHVs operate in partnership with NGOs, covering over 1,000 villages across 12 states, and providing daily OPD consultations to more than 1,000 patients—making a tangible difference in community health outcomes.

Impact:
In rural India, limited access to eye care often forces individuals to travel long distances, leading to preventable blindness, unemployment, and loss of livelihood.
SMFG India Credit’s ‘Jyoti–Save the Eye’ initiative brings quality eye care directly to underserved communities. Through Vision Care Centers (VCCs), equipped with essential infrastructure and staffed by locally trained professionals, the program ensures accessible, culturally aligned, and sustainable eye health services.
A standout feature is tele-ophthalmology, which enables real-time virtual consultations with ophthalmologists. This technology eliminates travel barriers, accelerates diagnosis, and strengthens continuity of care.
By combining awareness, access, and innovation, the initiative is restoring sight—and livelihoods—across rural India.
Currently, we operate 14 Vision Care Centres and 2 Vision Care Vans in collaboration with partner NGOs, across the following locations:
