Kripalu Charitable Hospital was opened in 2003 to meet the needs of over 350,000 citizens in four surrounding districts in Mangarh. Before Kripalu Maharaj and JKP opened the healing center, the closest hospital was located over one and a half hours away. This made medical help difficult to attain, especially for emergency visits. As of this writing, the highly skilled staff of Kripalu Charitable hospital have served the medical needs of over 250,000 children and adults. Additionally, the hospital distributes over $70,000 worth of medicine and vaccines every year. Nine full time staff physicians work at the JKP Mangarh Hospital and are supported by over 60 well trained volunteers. Three visiting physicians make regular trips to the facility and also provide much needed, free medical services. The services provided by the Mangarh center include providing free medicine and immunization services, as well as emergency services. The hospital also has a fully functional and state of the art maternity center where pediatric concerns are addressed. The JKP Mangarh branch also offers diagnostic testing and medical consultations. General and orthopedic surgery is offered along with gynecological care. The Mangarh Hospital was constructed with an imaging and pathology lab, and also lab equipment. JKP also regularly puts on National Eye Camps and Mother-Child Welfare programs where cataract surgeries and vaccinations are provided to those who need them the most.
Kripalu Charitable
HospitalBarsana, Mathura District,
UP
Braj is a historic
pilgrimage site located 150 km south of New Delhi. A poor
rural population of over 200,000 surrounds this holy site.
The wage in and around the village of Barsana is only 60
rupees per day, or around $1.50. The area has only one tiny
hospital that is run by the government and lacking in
adequately trained personnel. This hospital also lacks
modern equipment, emergency services, regular hours or a
central location. In order to meet the critical medical
needs of this impoverished area, JKP has opened a state of
the art hospital in Barsana. The first floor of the
hospital was inaugurated in January, 2007 and opened to the
public. The Barsana hospital has fully trained personnel
working with advanced and sanitary equipment at no cost.
The hospital currently serves about 200 patients per day.
The services provided by Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj
and JKP help
bring joy and wellness into the lives of others. When
the second floor is completed, the charitable hospital
will have 50 beds. Currently, the hospital is ready to
provide doctor’s visits, radiology, and ultrasound
examinations. There are also allopathic and homeopathic
pharmacies on the premises and the number of patients
served is expected to triple over the next year.
Kripalu
Charitable HospitalVrindaban, Mathura District,
UP
Located to the east of
Barsana, and situated on the banks of the holy Yamuna
River, lies the impoverished and densly populated town of
Vrindaban. Poor nutrition and unfit sanitation are the norm
in this scene, and existing medical facilities are not able
to address the health needs of Vrindaban’s growing
population. In keeping with their stated mission to provide
aid and wellness to all people, Kripaluji
Maharaj and JKP have purchased land and started
building plans for a third charitable hospital. This
proposed branch will serve the needs of the town and
outlying areas free of charge. Highly trained medical
professionals will donate their time and skill to better
treat and prevent diseases and ailments. Construction of
the Kripalu Charitable Hospital in Vrindaban is
scheduled to begin in the fall of 2007. Your gift to JKP will help hasten this
much needed project and is fully tax deductible.
