Mission: One of the critical issues in the world today is meeting the growing need for quality medical care among the poor. The Emmanuel Hospital Association of India helps to address this need.
Launched out of a group of western-run mission hospitals in the late 1960s, today EHA is the largest private healthcare network in India . Through a system of 21 hospitals and more than 30 community health and development projects, located in underserved areas of rural North India, EHA helps to bring health and medical care to more than 600,000 Indians per year, the vast majority from among the poorest classes of society.
Many of those served have no access to such medical care other than through EHA facilities. In a country where 1 in 4 families live below the poverty line, the needs are tremendous. In fact, they are beyond description.
Target demographics: The poorest classes of society in India who often have no access to medical care
Direct beneficiaries per year: 3.3 million people receive improved health and well-being; 820,000 people receive health care; 32,500 peole receive surgery; 150,000 get information about HIV/AIDS; 30,000 people gained access to safe water and sanitation; and 20,000 received food, water, and medical help during disaster situations.
Geographic areas served: Underserved areas of rural North India via 20 hospitals and over 40 Community Health and Development Programs
Programs: medical and dental care; help for the disabled, mentally ill, and terminally ill; income generation projects; well drilling for clean water; help for those with HIV/AIDS; and disaster management.
I and relatives have served in a variety of medical and non medical functions at Emmanuel Hospital Association Khachhwa. The continual outpouring of love and medical expertise with whatever resources they have is one of the most impressive and inspiring demonstrations of creativity and ingenuity, built on a legacy going back a century. Keep it up!
This organisation was set up with a very noble mission. And I must say, this has not turned out to be as planned.
One of the most unethical organisations that I have seen in recent years. Their hospitals are a mess and since they do some charity work, they feel that people are entitled to their shoddy services.
I dont know how they are still able to convince international donors about their shoddy work in India
