Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Science Hospital, also known as Sai Baba Super Speciality Hospital [Satya Shahi Baba Hospital], is a globally renowned hospital where complete free treatment is provided without any discrimination. It was established by Sai Baba on 19th January 2001 with the aim of serving humanity, and people are benefiting from this service without any hesitation.
People from various countries around the world come to these two hospitals for medical treatment. They bring their passports along with them. However, many people are unaware of how the treatment works here. Hence, this post is for the general public, especially for those who are not familiar with the intricacies of medical treatment.
Both of these hospitals provide advanced medical care. While some may be aware of this fact, many others are still unaware. Complex diseases are treated at these two hospitals without any exorbitant costs.
Now, let's find out where and how the treatment is provided:
Whitefield Hospital:
This hospital is also known as the Whitefield Hospital. There is a station named after it, located 40 minutes ahead of Bengaluru City Station or Yeshvantpur Station. The hospital authorities have initiated treatment for all types of diseases. To receive treatment here, there is no need to go through the hassle of admission via email. However, anyone can opt for it. Sending an email can provide additional benefits. The process is straightforward, just reach the main entrance of the hospital by 6 a.m. However, it is necessary to carry medical documents, voter ID, and Aadhaar card.
SSSIHMS, Puttaparthy
This hospital provides treatment for all kinds of problems. Patients from Bengal and other areas can avail themselves of numerous facilities here. Email communication is mandatory, and Aadhaar card must be carried along. It is worth mentioning that no one will charge you any money for treatment at these two hospitals. Your expenses for accommodation and food will be taken care of by the hospital authorities if you are admitted as a patient. For family members staying outside the hospital, they can choose to stay in hotels. In addition, for those who cannot afford hotel expenses, a provision has been made for them to stay at Sai Baba's Hospital for a nominal fee of 20 rupees per day.
Important Information for All Patients:
