Star Health and Allied Insurance Company Limited has expanded access to free primary healthcare in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, through its corporate social responsibility initiative, the Arogya Seva Kendra. Located at 3A/305 Krishna Vihar Colony, BSA Engineering Road, the centre offers local residents free doctor consultations, basic diagnostic tests, medicines, health counselling, and vaccination support. The initiative aims to bring essential medical services closer to families, addressing common health concerns without requiring travel to distant facilities.
Strong Community Response and High Footfall
Since its launch in January 2026, the Mathura Arogya Seva Kendra has recorded over 3,700 beneficiary visits within six months. Mathura has emerged as the leading centre in Uttar Pradesh for average footfall across Star Health's Arogya Seva Kendra network. Uttar Pradesh itself tops the network in average number of footfalls among all states, indicating significant demand for accessible neighbourhood-level healthcare.
Common cases treated at the Mathura centre include diabetes, fever, hypertension, respiratory illnesses, and other non-communicable diseases. This pattern underscores the growing need for primary care services within communities, enabling early intervention and preventing minor health issues from escalating into serious conditions.
Services Provided Free of Cost
The Arogya Seva Kendra is staffed by a doctor, nurse, and support team. Services offered at no charge include MBBS doctor consultations, screening for hypertension, diabetes, and oral health conditions, laboratory diagnostics for blood sugar, haemoglobin, rapid diagnostic tests, and related tests. Additionally, the centre provides medicines for common ailments and chronic conditions, health counselling and awareness sessions, and pneumococcal vaccination support for eligible beneficiaries.
Specific diagnostic tests available include haemoglobin testing, random blood sugar testing, urine examination for sugar and albumin, and rapid diagnostic testing for malaria.
Star Health's CSR Commitment
Star Health currently operates four Arogya Seva Kendras in Uttar Pradesh—Mathura, Gorakhpur, Allahabad, and Aligarh—which together have recorded over 12,800 beneficiary visits since their respective launches. Nationally, Star Health runs 32 Arogya Seva Kendras across nine states, established in partnership with Piramal Swasthya, a part of the Piramal Foundation.
Arpan Rai, Business Head of Star Health and Allied Insurance, commented: "Mathura's strong response to the Arogya Seva Kendra shows how important accessible neighbourhood healthcare is for families. Many of the cases we see here—including diabetes, hypertension, fever and respiratory illnesses—require timely consultation, screening, medicines and follow-up. Primary care within the community can help people seek treatment early and prevent everyday health concerns from becoming serious. Through this CSR initiative, Star Health is bringing free healthcare support closer to Mathura residents."
