• Multi-Specialty Hospital: Launched in 2004 in Dharampur, the hospital is a 55-bed multi-specialty hospital offering quality services at highly subsidised rates to the less privileged throughout the year. It is the best equipped hospital in Dharampur. Roughly, half a million patients have benefitted from this hospital in the past years.

The Centre is child-friendly and state-of-the-art unit with the primary objective to make the entire district disability-free. Consultation sessions, therapies and surgeries are offered at minimal cost.
• Medical Camps: Free large-scale medical camps, multi-diagnostic treatment camps are organised throughout the year. Medical Specialists from 15 different disciplines participate to treat local patients.
• Preventive Care Programme: Door-to-door surveys are conducted to screen an individual’s health condition. This is one of the preventive measures taken by the volunteers. 
• Health Education & Awareness Lessons: Health awareness drives are conducted to sensitize the rural population on topics like pregnancy, childcare, immunisation, nutrition, balanced diet, hygiene, healthy cooking practices, and prevention of water-borne diseases through purification of drinking water, malaria, TB and other communicable diseases. Optimum use of power point presentations, street plays, posters, etc. is made to increase the effectiveness of subject matter being delivered.
