Thousands of devotees live partially or full-time in Mayapur, India, the international headquarters for ISKCON; hence, a very well-equipped hospital is a grave need that has been felt by residents and visiting devotees alike. Therefore, in 2022, ISKCON Mayapur began construction of a new 100-bed multi-speciality hospital on Bhaktisiddhanta Road, adjacent to the existing hospital building. The new project has reached the first-floor level and is progressing quickly.
A total of five acres of land is earmarked for healthcare development in phases. The present stage includes a 100-bed multi-specialty hospital, a natural birthing centre, and a palliative care centre. The next development phase will consist of Paramedical and Nursing schools for educating and training the rural youth. The third phase will be the development of a 250-bed super specialty hospital. Finally, there are plans for a separate Ayurvedic and naturopathy facility on the bank of the Ganges.
Regarding the current development, Harilila Das, who is in charge of the health care division of ISKCON Mayapur, said, “This 100-bed multi-speciality hospital will fulfill all the current needs of this fast-growing community and our visitors. It will have facilities for safe birthing, treatment for all common ailments, a dialysis center, four modern surgery theatres, an ICU, 24-hour emergency services, and all types of diagnostic and imaging facilities.” A total of six million dollars is required to complete the ongoing phases.
