Global Hospital

J Watumull Global Hospital Research Centres founder trustees envisaged that establishing a multi-disciplinary secondary care hospital at Mount Abu would help bridge the yawning gap in health services in district Sirohi, Rajasthan. In 1991, four hospitals with combined bed strength of 457 served the 700,000 strong population of the district. In order to optimise its services to remote communities, Global Hospital has therefore focused on community outreach programmes as well as medical services through out-patient clinics and hospitalisation. Medical research, vocational education in paramedical streams and the promotion of health awareness are other priorities.
