Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences or simply known as Sri Sathya Sai Super Speciality hospitals aims to provide free medical care to the sick and ailing with the dedication, commitment, love and the best of
skills, so that they will be cured in body, mind and spirit.
The mission of the hospitals is to provide high quality medical care free of charge to all irrespective of caste, creed, religion, and financial status in an atmosphere of love and care.
Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital, Prasanthi Nilayam, Puttaparthi is the first Institution to be established by Sri Sathya Sai Baba in 1956. The seed that was planted by Baba then, has grown today into the large Sri Sathya Sai
Healthcare wing, with establishment of Super Speciality Hospitals, Mobile Medical services, Nationwide healthcare service programs including free medical camps as well as International Medicare Projects. In these days when
medicine has become a business and rural healthcare is abysmally inadequate, Baba’s free Medicare in rural India, which this hospital represents, stands as a beacon of light for others to emulate.
The philosophy of this hospital in the words of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, the Founder, is as follows:
“People of this village and villages that are in the surrounding area, will resort to this
hospital for medical relief and advice. Unfortunately hospitals that treat patients with love and
care, with dedication and devotion, are a rarity. There are hospitals with costly equipment and expert
doctors, huge buildings and spick-and-span interiors, but they indulge more in profiteering than
affording relief. Their services are for those who can pay large sums of money. Villagers are not
welcome there, who in turn do not feel at ease to approach them. Therefore this hospital is being
started amidst the villages so that expert advice and treatment can be rendered, to them in a loving
atmosphere of love and devotion.”
All the services in the hospital are offered completely free of cost to all the patients based on the facilities available. However, it is practically not possible to cater to the needs of everyone who visits. Therefore, the
Hospital primarily focuses on the needs of the residents of Sri Sathya Sai Taluka, which includes Bukkapatnam, Kothacheruvu and Puttaparthi mandals. Other patients presenting with simple general illnesses or those landing
up in the emergency with acute conditions are served depending upon the manageability within the setup. The hospital does not provide general medical checkups or treatment for chronic ailments for such patients.
