An immensely proud Indian, Rajen Kilachand has directed his resources toward the support of several medical facilities in India and around the world. While healthcare amenities in developing nations depend on government support, there are also those medical and therapeutic facilities that run solely on the money generated by donations from the people of the community who believe that national responsibility does not rest only with government, but is the sacred responsibility of every person who is able.

Initiatives

Pathfinder International

Since 2008, Rajen Kilachand, who serves on the Board of Directors for Pathfinder International, has donated generously to the organisation for family planning and AIDS awareness education programs in India, East Africa and the Pacific Rim. Pathfinder International's mission is to ensure that people everywhere have the opportunity to live a healthy, reproductive life. With family planning centres that spread the message of nuclear families, developing economies can divert their resources to soft infrastructure - education and healthcare facilities. Mr Kilachand's generous donation goes towards raising more awareness and affording better treatment in India, Tanzania, Papua New Guinea and several other countries.

Bhatia General Hospital, Mumbai

An example of Mr Kilachand's drive for universal healthcare for all Indians is his donation of an Outpatient Clinic to the Bhatia General Hospital in Mumbai, India. The Outpatient Clinic was donated on the condition of providing free medical services for those who cannot afford medical care, and Rajen Kilachand and his wife Nina Kilachand are a part of the Board of Trustees who oversee the running of the hospital and the clinic.

Public Health Initiatives

Rajen Kilachand has donated generously to numerous causes, from destitute women and orphans, to the underprivileged and the ill, including events that support organizations like the Rashid Paediatric Therapy Centre in Dubai and the Children's Hope Foundation's UAE chapter. Mr Kilachand has proven time and again that he is a man who does not identify himself with a singular cause and believes in offering support and help to those who need it most, regardless of cause and circumstance, illness, projects or disability.
