Impact of Service Activities on Community

Greatness does not lie in doing great things. It lies in doing small things with great Love. -Mother Teresa
Before the establishment of the Aruike Specialty Hospital, the medical care in the area was inadequate and prohibitively expensive for local people. This led to unacceptable rates of infant and adult mortality as well as high rates of infectious diseases, and other illnesses. The nearest hospital and doctor were nine to fourteen miles away and were unaffordable for most villagers.

It is certain that the free medical care provided by the hospital will have a substantial impact on the wellbeing of local people, reducing morbidity and mortality. Providing high-quality health care in a loving environment will also help children struggling with illness to succeed in their studies, and will boost the productivity of all those of working age who are often debilitated by illness.

In order to continue providing holistic quality healthcare services, a conducive self-contained doctors lodge was erected within the hospital premises in 2017. This is to allow the doctors and nurses provide round-the-clock care for their patients.
"If you treat a disease, you may loose or win, but if you treat a person, you will always win no matter the outcome." - Patch Adams.
Our Motto.

LOVE ALL, SERVE ALL.
HELP EVER, HURT NEVER.
