Guiding Philosophy

The spirit that shapes every decision, every treatment, and every interaction at SSSIHMS.

The Foundation

Doctors should serve the poor with a spirit of sacrifice. There is no greater service than this. As man is the embodiment of God, it is his primary duty to help the destitute and the forlorn. Medicine should not be commercialised. It is meant to promote a heart-to-heart and love-to-love relationship between doctor and patient. A true doctor is one who realises this truth and conducts himself accordingly.

— Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, 2003
Healthcare as Worship

Medicine in the Spirit of Love

At SSSIHMS, healthcare is not a transaction — it is an act of love. The conviction that service to man is service to God informs everything: the warmth at the registration desk, the unhurried attention of the consulting physician, the dignity afforded to every patient regardless of their station in life.

No bill is ever raised. No patient is ever turned away for want of means. The poorest villager and the most privileged citizen receive identical care, given with identical love.
