Presently, the 100 beds hospital offers round the clock emergency services, special care for women and children and people with eye diseases, separate clinics for Tuberculosis, diabetes & infertility. These services are strongly supported by well-equipped modern laboratory, X-ray and sonography units along with operation theatres and blood bank. Medicines are available in hospital campus at a low cost without compromising the quality. A well-stocked library offers reference facilities for doctors, who keep their knowledge updated through regular academic meetings. Medical students and interns from India and abroad come to this hospital for regular orientation and training. Moreover, opportunities are available to youngsters for various kinds of training in India and abroad. Thus, rural society and patients of interior areas are not deprived of benefits of modern science and its know how.
However, doctors as well as modern equipments do not enliven a hospital. Dedicated and competent Para medical staff are equally essential. Since it was difficult to get formally qualified Para medical personnel due to remote area, in early eighties SEWA- |
Rural decided to train local rural tribal girls & boys by extensive practical training and demonstration. This brought a new and better change into their lives. The hands doing all sorts of labour began caring for patients and giving new hope of life to them.
A glance at the achievements of the hospital while it is about to enter the 4th decade, reveals that people of the 1500 surrounding interior villages take advantage of the hospital having about 15 full time doctors. About 250 patients from these villages receive medical treatment daily in OPD. Every year about 68000 OPD & 10000 Indoor patients are treated & about 1800 deliveries & 7500 operations are carried out. Despite of concessional charges, about 35% of OPD and 75% of Indoor patients are treated free.
About Rs. 2.0 Crores are being spent for hospital services per annum. Of this less than50% is met from Government grant.. The expenditure of 2/3rd of the patients is borne by SR and only 25% expenditure is met by patients who can afford it. Hence, for meeting the deficit of about Rs. 50 lacs, support is constantly solicited. Every year the deficit is met by the co-operation and support of benevolent organisations like Lilavati R. Shah Medical Relief Trust & Ur Asha Javeri Foundation Trust ( both from Mumbai ) beside donations from other sources. In recognition and appreciation of the excellent management of this rural hospital, the Bajaj Group of industries and the Bombay Management Association bestowed a national award on the hospital in 1989 for innovative hospitals & health care management in non-Govt. Rural hospital category.
