HEALTH
The Narayan Family Foundation is deeply committed to advancing healthcare access and excellence, with a particular focus on supporting both traditional and holistic approaches to health and wellness. Our healthcare initiatives are built on three fundamental pillars: Pediatric Cardiac Care, Comprehensive Cancer Support, and Integrative Health and Wellness. Each pillar reflects our dedication to addressing critical healthcare needs in underserved communities, ensuring that every individual has access to the care they need to thrive.
Pediatric Cardiac Care
At the heart of our healthcare efforts is our unwavering support for the Sai Sanjeevani Hospital in Suva, Fiji, inaugurated on April 24th, 2022. As the region's premier pediatric cardiac super-specialty hospital, Sai Sanjeevani provides state-of-the-art cardiac care to children from across the Pacific. The Narayan Family Foundation has been a crucial partner in the hospital's operations, helping to ensure that it remains a beacon of hope for families facing the devastating effects of congenital heart disease.
The hospital’s compassionate care model is groundbreaking; it operates without a billing counter, ensuring that no child is turned away due to financial constraints. The Narayan Family Foundation is proud to support this model, which prioritizes patient care over profit, making life-saving surgeries and treatments accessible to all. By collaborating with a globally renowned team of surgeons and medical professionals from countries including the USA, Australia, New Zealand, India, Oman, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic, the hospital delivers the highest standard of care to those who need it most.
Comprehensive Cancer Support
The Narayan Family Foundation is firmly committed to advancing pediatric cancer care and research, with a focus on providing support to young patients and their families around the world. Our efforts are rooted in the belief that every child deserves access to the best possible treatments and compassionate care during their fight against cancer.
We are proud to support leading institutions such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and the Children's Cancer Research Fund in the USA, as well as WOW Kids in Suva, Fiji. These organizations are at the forefront of pediatric cancer research and care, driving innovations that offer hope and life-saving treatments to children globally.
Our support focuses on ensuring that children with cancer have access to cutting-edge treatments, emotional support, and holistic care options. We also invest in initiatives that raise awareness, foster community support, and provide resources to families, ensuring that no child faces cancer alone. Through these efforts, we aim to enhance the quality of life for young patients and their families, providing them with hope and the best possible care during their most challenging times.
Integrative Health and Wellness
In addition to our focus on pediatric cardiac care and cancer support, the Narayan Family Foundation is equally committed to promoting integrative health and wellness through the support of traditional and holistic healthcare practices. One of our flagship initiatives in this area is our ongoing support for the Vedanta Meditation Center in Auckland, New Zealand. This center is dedicated to fostering mental and physical well-being through the teachings of Vedanta, a spiritual philosophy that emphasizes the unity of all life and the importance of living in harmony with nature.
The Vedanta Meditation Center offers a range of programs, including meditation, yoga, and holistic health workshops, that are designed to promote inner peace, resilience, and overall well-being. By supporting this center, the Narayan Family Foundation is helping to make these transformative practices accessible to individuals from all walks of life, empowering them to take control of their health in a holistic and sustainable way.
Additionally, our support extends to the Sarasa Medical Centre in Nadi, Fiji, which offers both traditional and holistic treatments. This center is a model for integrative care, combining modern medical practices with traditional healing methods to provide patients with a comprehensive approach to health. By supporting Sarasa, we are helping to preserve and promote traditional healing practices while ensuring that patients have access to the best of both worlds.
A Broader Commitment
The Narayan Family Foundation's healthcare initiatives are driven by a deep commitment to making quality healthcare accessible to all, regardless of financial status. By focusing on pediatric cardiac care, comprehensive cancer support, and integrative health and wellness, we are addressing some of the most pressing healthcare challenges facing underserved communities today. Through strategic partnerships and a steadfast dedication to compassion and service, we aim to create a world where everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
In addition to these pillars, the Narayan Family Foundation supports various health initiatives that do not fall under these categories but align with its mission to improve global healthcare.
