Jeffrey Gentleman from The New York Times visited and published an article in “The New York Times” on 26th Jan 2022 about the services being provided by SRH for creating awareness to the world that the leprosy still exist. Many people were inspired by the article and contacted SRH to provide financial support, and others promised to extend a helping hand in the future. 

The expansion work at Ramdevrao Hospital, is nearing completion. We hope to inaugurate the new departments by the end of October 2022.

Construction of the Nursing College is in full swing.  We are hoping to get it completed by early next year so that we can admit the first batch of students in the next academic year 2023.
