As part of the Village Outreach Project, a medical team from the hospital makes regular visits to many of the surrounding villages where malnutrition and infectious diseases are common. At present 10 villages are covered, bringing much needed general medical care to communities who would not otherwise have access to healthcare. This service continues to expand as a new outreach service, sponsored by a local charitable trust, now serves another thirteen remote villages in rotation. The project also offers the villagers instruction in basic hygiene and simple health education.
"I like your hospital for the full care that it takes of the patients’ body and soul as an integral being. As I see this, I find that I can only congratulate you for your vision."
