CSR: Upasana Konidela unveils free OPD Services for single mothers every Sunday at Hyederabad Hospital

Hyderabad, India: Leading healthcare entrepreneur and philanthropist, Upasana Kamineni Konidela, has initiated a groundbreaking philanthropic effort in collaboration with Apollo Hospitals. The newly inaugurated Apollo Children’s in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, will be offering free Outpatient Department (OPD) facilities to single mothers every Sunday.

Building on its 40-year legacy of clinical excellence, Apollo Hospitals recently introduced a comprehensive paediatric care division – Apollo Children’s – at their Jubilee Hills branch. With a team of over 20 specialised paediatricians, the facility aims to deliver a holistic range of paediatric services under one roof. Boasting consultant-led 24/7 paediatric emergency and intensive care services, Apollo Children’s is poised to provide children with comprehensive healthcare spanning from primary to quaternary care levels, ensuring optimal clinical outcomes.

The driving force behind this initiative, Upasana Kamineni Konidela, is not only a distinguished healthcare entrepreneur but has also recently become a devoted mother. Reflecting on her own position as a partner and parent, she empathetically recognized the challenges faced by single mothers who undertake parenting responsibilities on their own.

In her capacity as Vice-Chairperson – CSR, Apollo Hospitals, Upasana Kamineni Konidela passionately explained her motivation, saying, “Observing the struggles of single mothers who without external assistance has deeply moved me. I feel their pain and this initiative stems from the desire to support them. The concept of Apollo Children’s was born from this very need. Witnessing the plight of single mothers in need, the idea of offering free OPD services for children during weekends emerged. This program aims to empower more single mothers, enabling them to provide for their children.”

Apollo Children’s is committed to delivering a comprehensive spectrum of paediatric care services, thereby fulfilling the healthcare requirements of children across various medical complexities.
