Nayara Energy Partners with Cancure Foundation to Support Dialysis and Palliative Care Services

KOCHI:
Nayara Energy, an integrated downstream energy and petrochemicals Company of international scale, announced its partnership with Cancure Foundation to strengthen access to essential dialysis and palliative care services for vulnerable communities in Kochi, Kerala.

The two organisations formally exchanged their signed CSR Project Agreement in the presence of the Chief Minister of Kerala, V. D. Satheesan, in Thiruvananthapuram. The ceremony was attended by Prasad K. Panicker, Executive Chairman, Nayara Energy, along with senior representatives from Nayara Energy and Cancure Foundation.

Through this partnership, Nayara Energy will provide ₹2 crore in CSR support over a period of two years to strengthen the delivery of free dialysis and palliative care services through Cancure Foundation’s healthcare facilities in Kochi. The initiative is aimed at improving access to critical healthcare services for economically disadvantaged and vulnerable patients who face financial and social barriers to quality medical care.

Commenting on the partnership, Prasad K. Panicker, Executive Chairman, Nayara Energy, said, “Healthcare challenges often extend beyond treatment itself, placing a significant emotional, physical and financial burden on patients and their families. Through this partnership, we hope to support care that brings greater reassurance, dignity and quality of life to those navigating some of life’s most difficult circumstances. At Nayara Energy, we remain committed to enabling meaningful, community-focused interventions that create lasting social impact.”

The project will support free dialysis services for patients suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and strengthen shelter-based palliative care through a dedicated 40-bed facility for destitute and terminally ill patients. The initiative is expected to facilitate approximately 6,000 dialysis sessions annually, provide year-round support to more than 50 dialysis patients, and deliver continuous palliative care to approximately 40 patients.
