Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to inaugurate a new 650-bed hospital at Sathya Sai Gram in Bengaluru on November 23, coinciding with the 100th birth anniversary of Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The new facility continues the Sathya Sai mission’s enduring philosophy of free, compassionate healthcare, following the principle of “Srif Dil, No Bill” — a hospital with no billing desk.
The new hospital is an expansion of the existing 350-bed facility at Sathya Sai Gram, which currently treats nearly 37,000 patients each month. The earlier hospital was inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi in 2023. In response to the rising patient load and growing healthcare demands, the Sri Sathya Sai Global Health Mission, under the leadership of Madhusudan Sai, initiated the construction of this larger, state-of-the-art facility.
Operating under the vision of “One World, One Family Mission”, the Global Health Mission is driven by two founding principles — establishing hospitals that provide completely free medical care and offering free medical education to deserving students from rural and underprivileged backgrounds. The mission aims to make quality healthcare and education universally accessible, regardless of economic or social status.
In India, the trust runs several Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Centres for Child Heart Care located in Nava Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Palwal (Haryana), Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra), Siddipet (Telangana), and Muddenahalli (Karnataka), along with Mother and Child Hospitals in Yavatmal, Jamshedpur, Palwal, Nava Raipur, and Raiwala.
Globally, the mission’s footprint extends to Fiji, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, and the United States, with hospitals such as the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Children’s Hospital in Suva, Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospital in Batticaloa, Aruike Specialty Hospitals in Enugu and Imo, and the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Medical Centre in Clarksdale. Each of these institutions offers completely free medical services.
Collectively, the health mission has delivered over 4.4 million outpatient consultations, 1.4 lakh inpatient treatments, 68,000 surgeries, 6.87 lakh outreach screenings, and treated 37,000 children with congenital heart defects.
To expand access in rural and underserved regions, the mission also operates Sathya Sai Aarogya Vahini mobile healthcare services and Sai Swasthya Wellness Centres across 10 states in India, currently numbering 47 centres with a goal to reach 100 by 2025.
The new hospital at Sathya Sai Gram represents the trust’s unwavering commitment to equitable, high-quality healthcare for all, reinforcing its belief that every life deserves the gift of care, dignity, and good health.
