MATHURA, India, June 30, 2026 -- Star Health and Allied Insurance Company Limited (NSE: STARHEALTH) (BSE: 543412) is strengthening access to free primary healthcare in Mathura through its CSR initiative, Arogya Seva Kendra, located at 3A/305 Krishna Vihar Colony, BSA Engineering Road.

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."

The clinic is staffed by a doctor, nurse and support team. It provides haemoglobin testing, random blood sugar testing, urine examination for sugar and albumin, and rapid diagnostic testing for malaria.

By placing primary healthcare within the community, it supports awareness, follow-ups and continuity of care for underserved urban and semi-urban populations.

The Mathura Arogya Seva Kendra has been established as part of Star Health's Corporate Social Responsibility programme in partnership with Piramal Swasthya, a part of the Piramal Foundation. Star Health currently operates 32 Arogya Seva Kendras across nine states.
