Dr VS Natarajan Geriatric Foundation

Our Vision - Geriatrics for All
Established by Padma Shri Awardee Dr.V.S. Natarajan,
the Foundation is passionate about making healthy ageing a reality for all.

We empower older adults through hyper local communities and socio-medical support systems. For the past 40 years, Dr. V.S. Natarajan has been rendering various welfare services to the elderly community on his personal capacity. These days, apart from health concerns there has been a quantum leap in the societal and familial issues faced by the elders.

Natarajan Geriatric Foundation. The guiding philosophy of the Foundation will be to reiterate the fact that old age is not a curse, but indeed a boon. The Foundation will strive to serve the elders community by taking health care to their doorsteps, organize scientific symposiums, provide financial assistance to poor, destitute elders and coordinate various organizations serving the elderly for collective action
