1. Dialysis Technician Training Programme
The Fortis Hospital, Noida is working to serve women in the weaker sections of the community. To this end we have started a Dialysis Technician Training programme. It is our first venture towards community development. Dr. Manoj Singhal, Senior consultant, Nephrology is conducting the programme.
The main aim of this programme is to provide these women with a profession by which they can become self-dependent.
The first batch of this programme started in November 2004. Five girls were selected. The candidates were selected from orphanages, women's welfare organisations and social organisations on the outskirts of Noida.
Students are provided with a stipend of Rs.1,000/- towards their food and lodging.

2. School Adoption (Medical Needs) Programme
Many students get injured during the school hours. Keeping this in mind Fortis Hospital, Noida has adopted a few schools to serve the medical needs of the students and staff during school hours. The hospital will treat the medical needs, which occur during the school hours. The hospital's intention is to give a feeling of security to the parents of the students.
Under this programme the Hospital provides free OPD/Emergency consultations by doctors. The school or the patient has to bear the charges for the consumables and medicines used in the treatment.
Schools covered under the programme
Two schools situated in close proximity to the hospital are selected for this programme. The schools are:
- Mother Theresa School, Noida.
- Mother Theresa Higher Secondary School, Noida.
Both the Mother Theresa schools were selected as they are under a trust, which serves poor students with low cost education. The hospital also wishes to have goodwill with other reputed social organizations.
3. Tele-medicine
Setting up a Tele-medicine department has taken Fortis Hospital, Noida a step further in its social charter. Even though, India produces lakhs of doctors, the scope for postgraduate courses are limited and the specialists are concentrated in the cities and corporate hospitals.
Considering these facts, Fortis Healthcare, provides super speciality services to places where specialist doctors are not available. So Fortis Healthcare has selected small hospitals, nursing homes, clinics and diagnostic centres in small towns to set up Tele-medicine or Tele ECG centres. They would be linked to Fortis Healthcare specialist centres through ISDN or normal telephone lines. Through this the residents of these small towns can access world-class diagnostic facilities and consultations from highly acclaimed specialist doctors at a low cost.
Fortis Healthcare provides free consultations by its doctors and technical assistance to set up Tele-medicine centres.
Hospitals with Tele-medicine links to Fortis Healthcare:
- Refinery Hospital, Guwahati
