Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Science

A Temple of Selfless Healing

The Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences (SSSIHMS) stands as a living embodiment of Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s vision of selfless service and compassionate healthcare. Established as part of his mission to serve humanity without discrimination, the Institute redefines the concept of a hospital by offering world-class tertiary medical care completely free of cost. It reflects the spiritual ideal that service to humanity is service to God.

Vision and Philosophy

Guided by Sri Sathya Sai Baba’s core values of Truth, Righteous Conduct, Peace, Love, and Non-violence, the Institute functions on a unique model where healthcare is delivered with compassion, dignity, and excellence, irrespective of a patient’s socio-economic background. The hospital embodies the principle of “Love All, Serve All”, ensuring that no one is denied treatment due to inability to pay.

Centres of Medical Excellence

The Institute operates two super-speciality hospitals, providing advanced medical services in cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, urology, and other critical disciplines. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by highly skilled doctors, surgeons, and healthcare professionals, these hospitals treat thousands of patients daily, entirely free of charge. Their patient-centric approach has earned recognition as exemplary not-for-profit, faith-based healthcare institutions.

Service Beyond Treatment

More than a centre for medical intervention, the Institute is a place of healing that integrates professional excellence with human values. Patients and their families experience care that addresses not only physical ailments but also emotional and spiritual well-being. Volunteers play a vital role in patient care, reflecting the spirit of selfless service that defines the institution.
