Sri Sathya Sai Sarla Memorial Hospital at Sathya Sai Grama - Muddenahalli, a multi-disciplinary free of cost medical facility, was officially dedicated to the service of the nation to improve the health of people, especially that of women and children with the urge to serve the cause of ‘Right to good health for all’. Honourable Chief Minister of Karnataka, Sri Basavaraj Bommai, along with Dr K Sudhakar – Minister of Health and Family Welfare and Medical Education, Government of Karnataka, graced the occasion in the presence of Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai, a social and spiritual leader who walks the footsteps of his Master, Sri Sathya Sai Baba.

The Sri Sathya Sai Sarla Memorial Hospital will be a 300-bedded medical facility and will grow in phases. In the first phase, the Hospital is being upgraded to a 150-bedded high dependency in-patient facility consisting of 125 HDU and oxygenated beds, and 25 ICU beds, with specially equipped paediatric and neonatal ICU facilities to be battle-ready, should there be a third wave of the COVID pandemic. ‘vaidya sethu’ – tele-health services will commence in the coming weeks, and a dedicated team will offer free consultations and prescriptions through a phone call. An Advanced Foetal Medicine Centre with integrated fellowship programme will also commence in the coming weeks. 

In India, almost 70% of its people are living in rural areas without much access to high-end speciality care, and on an average 60% of healthcare expenses, are being out of pocket. Thus, the Sri Sathya Sai Sarla Memorial Hospital finds relevance as the most important centre of health in the district of Chikkaballapur which will offer all services, including the fellowship programme for doctors, free of all costs. 

​

As a preliminary out-patient centre since January 2018, one wing of the Hospital has been serving patients in various disciplines of General Medicine, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Dentistry, ENT and Physiotherapy. Visiting doctors in the areas of Orthopaedics, Podiatrics, Cardiology, Neurology, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Endocrinology, Radiology, and Community Medicine, regularly extend their expert consultation.
