Free high-tech health care in India.

The Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences in Andhra Pradesh can claim to have achieved the impossible--namely, the provision of high-tech medical services completely free of charge. Adherence to the five human values (truth, righteousness, peace, love and non-violence) and complete dedication to serve people without self-interest are the key elements for this success. This example may serve as a model for creating similar hospitals in the service of mankind.

Hospital standards for the care of HIV infected persons.

The perception of HIV induced illness is changing. The emphasis in treating AIDS patients should be compassionate, low technology, cost-effective care. Patient care in the community should be encouraged and facilitated as much as possible, to allow them to live as normal a life as possible. It is not only the physical effects of disease that disable patients, daily life in its many dimensions may also be affected by the impact of AIDS. Though incurable, HIV induced disease is treatable leading to an overall improvement in the patients quality of life and survival, provided there is a will, love and compassion.
