The Sathya Sai system of healthcare is a unique healthcare system that provides completely free healthcare to every patient without the use of any public funds, solicitation or marketing. It has been successfully doing this since 1956. The monetary value of work done by the SSIO alone in the last 10 years has been estimated to amount to over half a Billion U.S. Dollars. The type of healthcare delivered spans the whole gamut from primary care to tertiary care using the latest technologies and medical expertise. Its service extends all over the globe providing healthcare in every continent except Antarctica. For this reason, it is referred to as Sathya Sai Ideal Healthcare. How is this achieved? The next section describes the principles that drive the healthcare system.
Principles of Sathya Sai Ideal Healthcare
Sathya Sai Baba had been working incessantly for more than half a century to bring about the joyous experience of compassion and love to mankind all over the world through a benevolent healthcare system. The global proportion to which this has grown is truly a blessing for the entire world. In 1956, His mother Easwaramma requested Him to construct a hospital for the poor. While there are many hospitals, Sathya Sai Baba believed that free healthcare, like free education and drinking water, is an inalienable right of every individual, irrespective of race, religion, creed or economic status. With these noble ideals, the first Sathya Sai Hospital was established in Puttaparthi, India in 1956.
During the last 60 years this has blossomed into a vast global system delivering free healthcare in many countries using the principles taught by Sathya Sai Baba. These principles provide a framework for the delivery of ideal healthcare. In the field of medicine, He has fundamentally redefined healthcare and has made the clarion call for all medical professionals to deliver ideal healthcare. Healthcare implemented by Sathya Sai Baba is guided by the following six principles which are assiduously followed in every healthcare institution and every healthcare activity. The principles below have been emphasized by Sathya Sai Baba in His discourses:
