Greater Noida, May 08, 2026: Government Institute of Medical Sciences (GIMS) has been equipped to deliver advanced paediatric orthopaedic surgeries with support from Healthium MedTech under its CSR initiative, implemented in partnership with Plan International India Chapter.
The upgraded infrastructure enables GIMS to treat conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), clubfoot, limb deformities, fractures, and other complex bone disorders. The facility has been equipped with specialised surgical systems, including high-speed drill systems, paediatric orthopaedic instrument sets, and imaging equipment.
The initiative is expected to benefit over 1,000 children annually by enabling timely and specialised treatment closer to home, reducing the need for referrals outside the region.
India continues to face a significant burden of paediatric orthopaedic conditions, with an estimated 1–2% of children born with disorders such as clubfoot. In states like Uttar Pradesh, limited access to specialised care often leads to delayed treatment and increased risk of complications.
Dr. G.N. Singh, Adviser to the Hon’ble Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh, said, “This initiative reflects our commitment to ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has access to quality and timely healthcare. Strengthening public health institutions through such partnerships is essential to building an inclusive and equitable healthcare system.”
Dr. (Brig.) Rakesh Kumar Gupta, Director General, GIMS, said, “With this advanced equipment, GIMS is now prepared to handle complex paediatric orthopaedic cases with greater precision and safety. This will significantly reduce referrals and ensure that children receive timely treatment closer to home.”
Anish Bafna, CEO & MD, Healthium MedTech, said, “At Healthium, we are focused on improving clinical outcomes by enabling both innovation and access. Supporting initiatives such as the GIMS and Plan International India Chapter project reflects our effort to strengthen care delivery systems and equip healthcare providers with the tools needed to deliver specialised paediatric orthopaedic care. By enhancing on-ground capabilities, we aim to ensure that timely, reliable treatment reaches children who need it the most.”
Shri Mohammed Asif, Executive Director, Plan International (India Chapter), said, “Through this partnership, we are strengthening access to specialised paediatric healthcare for vulnerable communities. This intervention will directly benefit over 1,000 children every year, ensuring they receive timely, safe and life-changing orthopaedic treatment without financial or geographic barriers.”
The initiative highlights the role of public-private partnerships in improving access to specialised healthcare services and strengthening institutional capacity in public health systems.
