Corporate Foundation
Originally focused on umbilical cord blood donation, the Ramsay Santé Corporate Foundation is now focusing its efforts on Preventative Healthcare.
To take action where it is needed most, the Corporate Foundation has developed pioneering programmes to promote prevention by informing, educating and raising awareness amongst the general public. In addition, it seeks to encourage people to act by developing partnerships and leveraging the targeted expertise of healthcare professionals, scientists, startups, charities and more.
A choice much in keeping with the Group’s role as a healthcare provider, to boost, unite and galvanise a community of generations that believe prevention is the best way to stay in good health throughout one’s life.
Administration

Primary prevention
Before the illness. It aims to avoid a health issue first appearing and minimise the risk factors by educating people on how to lead a healthy lifestyle
Secondary prevention
At the very beginning of the illness. It aims to stop or slow down the development of an illness and minimise the risk of it returning or becoming
Tertiary prevention
Once the illness has already occurred. It involves those who have already been sick. It attempts to minimise the risk of relapse, recurrence
