        abstract = {The current study examines the relationship that exists between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) participation and healthcare access in the developing cities of Andhra Pradesh, India. The study is expected to investigate the effects of CSR projects by corporations on the access, affordability, and quality of healthcare services of the local communities. Particularly, the paper looks into the essence and extent of CSR-based healthcare initiatives, evaluates their contribution to healthcare infrastructure and service provision, and determines aspects that determine the success of such programs, such as corporate goodwill, governmental alliances, and societal engagement. Also, it assesses how communities perceive healthcare interventions based on CSR and examines how such initiatives would be in line with government health policies and the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 on Good Health and Well-being. Through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)-based mediation analysis, the study establishes that, developing cities mediate the connection between CSR engagement and access to healthcare, which indicates that the influence of CSR is both direct and indirect, through urban development. The paper is concluded by suggesting a strategic model to improve the effectiveness and sustainability of CSR donations to fair healthcare service in developing urban settings highlighting the necessity of combined partnerships between companies, governments, and civil society.},
