  • Access to quality healthcare remains a challenge for many families across India, particularly women and children from economically weaker sections, where affordability often determines access to timely treatment. While medical advancements have improved outcomes, specialized care often comes at a cost beyond the reach of many. Driven by a belief that healthcare is a service, Dr Satish Ghanta has ushered in a revolution in the field of paediatric and maternal care.
    In 2010, Dr Satish and his colleagues co-founded Little Stars and She Women and Children’s Hospital, an institution committed to providing specialized quaternary care. However, witnessing the barriers that prevented economically marginalized families from accessing advanced medical treatment inspired a deeper mission. Driven by this realization, he established the CHOICE Foundation to bridge the healthcare divide and ensure that life-saving services reach those most in need.
