Our association began in April 2001 when we set up the first Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at KEM Hospital, where we have stationed a caregiver to liaise between this unit and our team. We were instrumental in setting up their second PICU, the Sonali Ward, in October 2012, to lend additional support to the growing footfall at the hospital. In May 2018, we upgraded these PICUs with life-saving medical equipment.

To make the hospital more comfortable and patient-friendly, we provided some infrastructural facilities, and created spaces for new mothers to breastfeed their infants and a play area for children. We also refurbished their Audiometry Room. We signed an agreement to expand the milk bank at the hospital, enhancing its capacity from 300 ml to 3 liters.

To support the education of doctors, we offer a fellowship grant to medical interns at the hospital’s paediatric unit, whose remuneration is part-funded by us. We also respond to appeals for financial support from 3,000+ patients here each month and provide monthly medical assistance to deserving patients.

Additionally, we also run a free monthly diabetes screening camp for children where we provide monthly blood tests and insulin vials to 8-10 deserving patients.
Our 22-year association has helped transform many lives and together, we hope to continue to do so.

Our work at Sassoon General Hospital began in April 2017 with the setting up of a 59-bedded state-of-the-art Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) equipped with modern life-saving equipment. We also appointed a dedicated neonatologist to monitor the well-being of the infants and arranged for a specialised neurological developmental training session to keep the doctor abreast of the latest techniques.

Over the years, we have consistently upgraded the hospital by providing advanced equipment and essential medical facilities across departments. In March 2018, we upgraded their Endoscopy Department by donating equipment that resulted in making Byramjee Jeejeebhoy Government Medical College, to which the Sassoon General Hospital is affiliated, the first in Maharashtra to perform the Per Oral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) procedure. In April 2018, we set up a state-of-the-art, affordable liver transplant unit, the first of its kind in any government hospital in Maharashtra, which offers treatment at subsidised rates, making these accessible to common people.

We regularly conduct medical assessment camps and awareness and training sessions for medical personnel. We also perform free cataract and paediatric cardiac surgeries and provide prescribed medication in association with the hospital.

In August 2023, we provided the gynaecology department with advanced medical devices to enhance seamless communication among healthcare staff and patients.

In our endeavour to provide better healthcare, we have been upgrading Bharati Hospital, Pune, with infrastructural needs for cataract surgeries, orthopaedics and treatment for cancer, thalassemia and premature birth. We also conduct training sessions at the hospital to upskill medical professionals. Their medical team actively participates in our health assessment camps by offering support with physiotherapy, speech therapy and neurodevelopment to our Mission Cerebral Palsy initiative.

Our ongoing association with Sancheti Hospital, Pune, began in January 2015 when we requested support from therapists for our medical assessment camps for the elderly and institutes for the differently abled. We arrange for physiotherapists from the hospital to visit our Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation Centres in Satara District regularly. We have also collaborated with the hospital to perform 75 corrective surgeries for Cerebral Palsy patients and referred 210+ Cerebral Palsy patients to the hospital for orthotic devices until April 2023.

We began our association with HV Desai Eye Hospital in June 2008 when we first received an appeal from a school for a medical assessment camp. The hospital has since supported us by assigning their doctors for the duration of the camp. Until April 2023, we have together conducted more than 120 health camps at schools across Pune, Ratnagiri and Satara and provided spectacles to more than 10,000 students diagnosed with vision problems. As part of an ongoing initiative, we also offer quarterly and monthly support for paediatric and adult cataract surgeries since 2014. Until April 2023, we have supported 8,000 surgeries, with an average of approximately 20 adult cataract surgeries each month.

Our association with the PD Hinduja Hospital began in August 2019 with an initiative to annually offer financial support to 15 Breast Cancer patients, followed by another in February 2021 to support the medical treatment of 10 cancer patients with a sum of Rs 5 Lakh each year.

We upgraded their Intensive Care Unit in December 2022 with a point-of-care ultrasound machine (POCUS) to diagnose acute conditions and make quick and accurate decisions during emergencies. In February 2023, we provided CT scan injectors and a CT Scan facility for socio-economically backward patients to avail of these at nominal charges.

We have been providing infrastructural assistance and upgrading the equipment at some other hospitals, such as Rajiv Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Prashanti Cancer Care Mission, ECHS Poly Clinic, Police Hospital, The Command Hospital, Chandumama Sonawne Hospital and Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Dialysis and Diagnostic Centre in Pune; Parkar Hospital, Civil Hospital and BKL Walawalkar Hospital in Ratnagiri; and The BAPS Swaminarayan Institute’s multi-speciality hospital in Vadodara, Gujarat, R.S.S.
