amenities. As many as 100 people a day visit the outpatient clinic. The hospital has a telemedicine link with
AIMS Hospital, bringing state-of-the-art care to this poor region. The doctors regularly make trips to visit
the remotest tribal hamlets by jeep or on foot. They are not only concerned with the people’s medical
