Scenes from Sewa Bhawan Hospital

Located in central India in the state of Chhattisgarh, Sewa Bhawan Hospital has a small staff of 4 doctors, 30 nurses, and 37 other workers. With just 50 beds, SBH cares for 14,000 outpatients and 2,500 inpatients each year. The staff are pleased to be able to manage complicated OB/GYN cases and newborn care, offer intensive care to patients who need it, and take advantage of the better diagnostics they can offer with a new CT machine.

However, many of SBH’s buildings are old and dilapidated, as you can see below. The main medical ward has a damaged roof. Many of the staff housing units are falling apart and need repair. They lack funding to be able to upgrade or replace these facilities. Other major needs include a vehicle to drive out to the communities to offer medical and palliative care, as well as a freezer/mortuary.

Please pray that a pediatrician, a radiologist, and a general doctor would join their team. If you feel led to support Sewa Bhawan, please click the donate button.
