CLINICS
Sri Sathya Sai Baba emphasized the responsibility of all medical professionals to provide medical services to the poor and needy who cannot pay for the medical costs. He further mentions that All acts of service done to others are to be treated as service rendered to God.
To help the underserved and under privileged communities, several medical clinics are conducted by the Sri Sathya Sai Organization members. These are organized by volunteers who are health care professionals. These services are related to hygiene clinics, health screening, primary care, eye care, specialty and pediatric care for acute and long-term care patients. Below are description and examples of clinics conducted by volunteers in the Sri Sathya Sai International Organization.
