Star Health and Allied Insurance Limited (Star Health Insurance) is marking International Women’s Day with the launch of ‘SheTARA’, a large-scale women’s health initiative designed to provide free and accessible healthcare to women across Tamil Nadu through 40+ health camps, including a flagship event in Chennai’s Anna Nagar branch. The initiative will provide essential medical screenings and raise awareness about preventive healthcare. Additionally, Star Health Insurance is encouraging women to join as insurance agents. The company highlights its success in Tamil Nadu with 16,000+ women agents who have generated over Rs. 420 crore in business volume and helped settle almost Rs. 250 crore in health claims during FY25 (Apr-Jan’25). The Company also has a very successful exclusive Women’s ‘Pink Branch’ in Chennai, the first in Tamil Nadu which is entirely operated by 12 women and services over 300 agents.
In a world where women often prioritize their families over their own well-being, access to preventive healthcare remains a challenge. Speaking on the initiative Anand Roy, MD & CEO, Star Health Insurance said, “Women’s health is not just a personal concern, it is a fundamental pillar of a thriving society. When women are healthier, families, communities, and economies prosper. Through ‘SheTARA’, we are reinforcing our commitment to ensuring that every woman–regardless of her background–has access to quality preventive healthcare. Beyond check-ups, it is about creating a movement that places women’s well-being at the centre of our collective priorities.”
The ‘SheTARA’ Women’s Health Camp will offer comprehensive medical screenings, including BMI calculation, blood pressure monitoring, blood sugar tests, haemoglobin tests, thyroid function tests, bone mineral density screenings, and subsidized USG screenings if recommended by the doctor. The initiative will also feature a special webinar titled ‘Navigating Gynecological Health and Work-Life Balance in the Age of AI’, led by a renowned gynaecologist, providing valuable insights into women’s health.
