HEALTHCARE FOR THE UNWELL
The ancient scripture says, diseases are fruits of the tree of bad karma. May or may not be
true. But at Sneham Trust, disease is recognised as a malaise in the social management system
that has the potential to affect everyone if left to itself. Take Swine Flu, cancer, HIV/AIDs for
instance. Therefore, Sneham Trust is up and on the move to provide timely health care. The
problems, however, compound when places are remote and doctors and medicals supplies
are few and far. The burden becomes heavier, the cost of expenses for treatment become
prohibitively higher and in most cases beyond the means of the poor.
At Sneham Trust, modern as well as traditional systems of medicine are practiced successfully
under a team of able and caring medical practitioners, who have dedicated themselves to the
philanthropic services of the Trust.

outpatient clinic where patients from within the country and abroad visit for both short and long
term treatment. Hundreds of patients take advantage of the monthly medical camps conducted by
the Trust.
HOMEOPATHY

Health care services include periodic HEALTH CAMPS for free medical checkups. Diagnostics

regular eating hobbits, dental care etc.
