In December 2023, the hospital, in association with ViswaSanthi Foundation announced a project Step Forward, offering free pediatric-orthopedic surgery program under which 25 physically challenged children would undergo surgery and treatment free of cost. The project covers children with issues such as cerebral palsy, congenital limb deformities and scoliosis. [8]

In May 2025, Mohanlal announced a new collaborative initiative between his Viswasanthi Foundation and Baby Memorial Hospital, aimed at providing affordable liver transplants to children from economically weaker sections of society at a significantly lower expense. The project is designed to support families who often can't afford such life-saving surgeries. [9] [10]
