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.
