has led to the setting up of Sri Narayani Hospital and Research Centre in 2004. The hospital which initially started as a primary and secondary care centre, has grown leaps and bounds with AMMA’s blessings and is today a well equipped centre offering state-of-the-art tertiary health care in many specialities thus enabling affordable healthcare to the poor and the needy. Sri Narayani Hospital and Research Centre has a team of 900 employees including 75 highly qualified consultants. We also have a very competent team of nurses, technicians and support staff who ensure high quality of service to our patients. The Emergency department functions round the clock and attends to emergencies at all times. The ICU and Coronary care unit are well equipped with ventilators, monitors and well trained staff to provide 24 hours service. The dialysis unit provides round the clock haemo dialysis for renal failure patients and an average of 1000 dialysis are done in a month. This is done under the supervision of two Nephrologists, trained dialysis technicians and nurses. On an average 3000 to 4000 major and minor operations are performed in a year by the surgery department consisting of five consultants ably supported by a team of 6 anaesthetists, technicians and nurses. The urology department with two consultants and a team of well qualified technicians and nursing staff provide highly specialized care including all known surgical procedures to alleviate pain and suffering and provide succor to the affected population. Likewise the neurology department with three neurosurgeons and a neurologist with well equipped theatres and qualified support staff provide care in trauma and elective cases. We have a heavy load of outpatients ranging from 700 to 1000 per day, on an average. The hospital is on an expansion mode with 100 more beds under construction. The hospital has a very strong peripheral outreach programme. We conduct 20-25 camps a month where physicians and specialists visit the rural areas to examine and treat patients at their doorstep. Patients who need further treatment are referred back to the hospital and are offered subsidized health care. The hospital has in letter and spirit followed AMMA’s vision of providing Service with empathy and compassion to the needy population in and around Vellore. It has also gone on to provide tertiary care to those in need at highly subsidized and affordable rates. The hospital has now spread its reputation far and wide and we have a regular flow of patients from west Bengal, North Eastern States and Bangaladesh. The new super specialty block with 100 beds and state-of-the-art equipment and theatre complex is likely to be ready by the end of the year thus adding on considerably to the existing facilities. We also have a Bio-Medical Research laboratory which undertakes research on projects approved by ICMR and other agencies and trains doctoral and post doctoral research students in various disciplines.
