As part of its ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, Polyhose, a leading global manufacturer of industrial hoses, inaugurated a state-of-the-art Immuno ICU and Lymphoma Ward at the Voluntary Health Services (VHS) hospital in Chennai. The initiative has been carried out in partnership with the Cancare Foundation, a trust dedicated to supporting oncology care.

The newly launched facility will serve as a specialized treatment center for lymphoma patients and includes an advanced Immuno ICU to support critical care needs.

The Centre will be operated by specialist oncology doctors from the Cancare Trust and is designed to provide high-quality treatment to patients from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, according to a statement.

Recognizing the financial burden often associated with prolonged cancer treatment, the facility aims to make essential care accessible to those who might otherwise be unable to afford it.

Headquartered in Chennai with operations in 11 countries, Polyhose serves a wide range of industries globally. Last year, it partnered with Lubrizol, a global leader in specialty chemicals, to set up a facility for high-precision medical tubing used in neurovascular and cardiovascular applications such as balloon catheters and minimally invasive procedures—aimed at reducing India’s reliance on critical care catheter imports.
