3. Sri Sathya Sai General Hospital
Puttaparthi

The foundation of the Prasanthi Nilayam hospital was laid on November 23, 1954, and inaugurated for general medical care on October 4, 1956. Many devotees toiled to help build the hospital by carrying stones, bricks, cement, and other articles on top of thesmall hill on which it was constructed. From the hospital, one could get a bird's eye-view of the river Chitravathi, with the hills in the background.

The hospital initially had twelve beds, six of them for confinements, according to the needs of the time. The hospital catered mainly to the villagers and devotees. The doctors and the paramedical staff were appointed by Swami. All hospital workers from its day of inauguration til date are volunteer workers without any remuneration.

As the demands on the hospital built in 1954 increased due to the university campus and the large number of devotees, the need was felt for the construction of a new hospital building, equipped with all medical facilities. The foundation of the new hospital building was laid on 23 November 1982, and the hospital was inaugurated on Sivarathri Day, 29 February 1984.
