What We Do
Specialised Cardiac Care – Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Hospitals
The Sanjeevani Hospitals are specialised centres delivering world-class paediatric cardiac surgery at zero cost to patients and their families. Centres operate in Raipur (Chhattisgarh), Palwal (Haryana), Navi Mumbai (Maharashtra), and Kondapaka (Telangana), with further expansion underway. Children who would otherwise have no access to life-saving heart surgery receive treatment here at no charge whatsoever.
Maternal & Child Health – Sanjeevani Mother & Child Hospitals
A preventive healthcare initiative focused on maternal nutrition and the early screening of newborns and young children for congenital defects in rural areas. By intervening early, the programme addresses health challenges before they become life-threatening giving children the healthiest possible start.
Healthcare Education – Sanjeevani Institute of Nursing
The Trust runs the Sri Sathya Sai Sanjeevani Institute of Nursing, offering degree and diploma courses in nursing and allied health sciences, entirely free for deserving students. By training the next generation of healthcare professionals, the Trust ensures that compassionate, skilled care continues to grow and reach more communities.
Rural Outreach & Primary Care
Beyond its hospital campuses, the Trust conducts rural screening camps and outreach programmes that bring healthcare directly to communities with little or no access to specialist care. Volunteer medical professionals contribute their skills to these programmes, extending the reach of the Sanjeevani network into underserved areas.
Values-Based Education
Alongside its healthcare mission, SSSHET operates educational institutions built on the principle that true education shapes character as much as capability. Its Educare model emphasises values-based learning, developing students who are grounded in integrity, compassion, and a sense of service to society.
