Healthcare

Healthcare spearheads all the activities of Maharogi Sewa Samiti, Warora (MSS). It has always been and will remain the most significant pillar of MSS. What began as an attempt to provide holistic healthcare to the people affected by leprosy, has today, expanded into a large-scale project providing healthcare to all the marginalized sections of society.

Treatment of disease is the primary focus, however, preventive healthcare and comprehensive attention to the patient’s socio- economic and psychological welfare which enables the individual to lead a healthy, productive and confident life forms a major portion of MSS’s healthcare philosophy.

Sita Ratan Leprosy Hospital started as a small dispensary in 1951 in Anandwan providing primary healthcare to the needy. Over the years it has evolved into a 50-bedded hospital offering free primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare services to around 30,000 patients, mostly from rural interior regions in central India and belonging to very poor families.

The hospital's main building was built in the year 2002 with funds generously donated by Mr. L.R. Gajaria and was named in memory of Mr. Gajaria’s parents. The hospital is equipped with operation theatre, recovery room, laboratory, digital X-ray unit, separate male and female IPD, medicine disbursement counter and administration cabins. Separate OPD wing with special area for dressing of patients affected by leprosy and a fully functioning dental unit was added to the hospital campus in the year 2014 with the financial assistance from Nouvelle Planete, Switzerland. A physiotherapy centre is also present in the hospital premise. All support staff of the hospital including nurses, dressers and attendants are cured leprosy afflicted persons.

All support staff of the hospital including nurses and attendants are cured leprosy afflicted persons. The hospital was setup in 1991 with financial support from Shri Sai Baba trust.

The Lok Biradari Prakalpa (LBP), tribal project of MSS was established in the year 1973 at Hemalkasa with an aim to mainstream the tribal population, especially the Madia-Gond tribes. In the initial years primary healthcare services were rendered under a tree to the local population which was suffering from deadly diseases like cerebral malaria, malaria, tuberculosis, ascites, cancer and sickle cell anaemia. The tribal population was also victims of bear bites, burns, snake bites, scabies and severe malnutrition.

The LBP Hospital was renovated in 2013 with the help of many donors with chief donor being Nouvelle Planete, Switzerland. The hospital caters to around 45,000 patients annually from 1,000 villages in a 250 km radius, including those from the neighbouring states of Chattisgarh and Telangana. The hospital offers free primary, secondary and tertiary healthcare services. It has a 50 bedded IPD and is equipped with all modern diagnostic and interventional facilities like ultrasonography, X-ray, pathology lab, delivery room and operation theatres.
