Swasthya-Kendra-Hospital

Land identified for the proposed Hospital

Bringing about change in the health of the population at large, majority of who reside in the villages is what inspired the setting up of Swasthya Hospital, Madanapalle.

The NGO sector has been actively partnering with the Government of India to enhance healthcare systems through awareness programs, medical camps etc., to identify diseases early and treat them successfully. Despite all these measures, there are several shortcomings.

Keeping these factors in view, a unique model super-specialty 38-bedded hospital, catering to the semi-urban and rural population of Madanapalle, Andhra Pradesh was conceptualized by Sri M, Founder Trustee – The Satsang Foundation. It is being designed with the NABH standards in mind. Additionally, it will have traditional systems of Indian alternative medicine based on the AYUSH concept. This will truly be a holistic approach to new age healthcare and not just another hospital.
