As Swami [[Sivananda]] himself was a doctor, one of the most natural outcomes of his passion to serve was care for the sick and the poor. Swami Sivananda's original medical dispensary established in 1934 was upgraded to a general hospital in 1950, and later an eye hospital was established in 1953. Now it is a 30 bed charitable hospital running at full capacity. Up to 500 outpatients are given free consultation and medicine daily. Free surgery by visiting doctors is performed 6 days per week. Once a week, eye patients are treated while the house doctors visit a nearby village to treat villagers from various surrounding districts. Free eye camps are held from time to time where up to 200 patients will receive eye surgery. There is also a modern hospital in Patamadai named '''Swami Sivananda Centenary Charitable Hospital''', the birthplace of Swami Sivananda built in honour of his centenary in 1987. |
