HIV/AIDS Helpline, Mumbai
GSK launched a 24-hour Helpline in October 2000, as a unique and innovative initiative for counseling and dissemination of information on HIV/AIDS.
The unique features of this Helpline are:
- Complete acceptance of the caller
- No stigma attached
- Confidentiality maintained
- Professionally managed by highly qualified Counselors.
The Helpline provides not only information on the disease but also emotional support to callers. Operating between 9.00 a.m. and 6.00 p.m. the calls are answered by professional counselors. The caller’s misconceptions and inhibitions on HIV/AIDS are cleared which helps them to improve their quality of life.

To summarize, we believe that we as an organization have a significant role to play in the betterment of our environment and the world around us. We believe that we have a duty in giving back to society some part of our success and strive to do this through our support of the under privileged sections of our society.
The ‘responsible business practice’ is one of the most dynamic and challenging subjects corporate leaders face today and we are geared to take on this challenge.
