Brief History of The Hospital Trust
The early decades of fight for freedom in the twentieth century saw the emergence of Rashtriya Shikshan Mandal (RSM), a voluntary organization to propagate the ideals of Lokmanya Tilak who propagated in his daily newspaper ‘Kesari’, the need of ayurvedic medicine therapy for people of India.
The hospital was established in 1926 to promote Ayurvedic treatment which was being neglected due to other medical treatments. A strong support by donation of Rs. 50,000/- by the family of Philanthropist Rao Bahadur Hanmantram Rathi and Rastriya Shikshan Mandal (RSM), laid the foundation of this Hospital. Also, the then Pune Municipality also decided to give a spacious land of 3.5 acres for the hospital and agreed to be a partner in its management.
Today, after 95 years, the third generation of Rao Bahadur Hanumantram Rathi, are working hand in hand with RSM and the Pune Municipal Corporation to make Seth Tarachand Ramnath Charitable Ayurvedic Hospital, as one of the leading charitable hospitals in Pune for the treatment of downtrodden strata of the society. Some of the largest slums of the city are in the near vicinity of the hospital, most of the patients are from this area, it is the endeavour of the hospital to provide them with the best medical care and treatment.
Keeping in view our commitment to serve the poor, since the establishment of the hospital, we have received generous support from citizens of Pune city and other establishments and organizations. Eminent medical professionals of Ayurveda and Allopathy regularly visit the hospital and treat the patients without any financial considerations and render their services purely honorarily. It is due to their dedication and commitment that the hospital is able to serve the needy people. All the patients in the OPD, or in the admitted wards, or in the operation theaters are treated at very minimal fees.
Hospital has a capacity of 222 beds. For general ward daily bed charges are Rs. 80/- only. Breakfast and lunch is provided free of charge with the help of Social Organisations like Brahmi Seva Sangha and Manav Seva Trust.
The management is thriving for the modernization and upgradation of the infrastructure. In the last few years a New OPD Building, renovated IPD Building, NICU, state of art Operation Theatres, Dialysis Centre and Generic Medical Store have been set up for people who cannot afford costly treatments.
