AIMS - a world-class
not-for-profit hospital in Kerala, India established by the M.A.Math.
In AIMS the poor can have access to advanced medical care regardless
of their ability to pay in an atmosphere of love and compassion.
AIMS is now a world-class institution of medicine, academics, and
research.
 AIMS
has many outreach programs. The Amritakripa
charitable hospital established in the remote area of Wayanad
district in Kerala, is one of them. Established in 2004 this outreach
hospital ( the Amritakripa hospital) is run by a husband and wife
team, doctors Sanjeevan and Ajitha. The mission of this hospital
is to serve the residents of that area and its surroundings, especially
the tribals.
 The
tribes of this area are aboriginal people who have lost their lands,
traditional livelihoods and usually live exploited and impoverished
on the margins of society. In its first year of operation
the hospital served approximately 30,000 patients, of whom 20,000
were Advasis ( tribals). The Adivasis are treated totally
free of charge and other patients are charged a minimal fee for
treatment and medicines.
Updates on this outreach program
Another camp is held bi-weekly at Modakkara,
an hour’s drive from Kalpetta.On a typical day there are nearly
100 patients waiting to be seen, mostly women and children of tribal
origin. Patients are first examined by the doctor and then receive
free medicine from the hospital pharmacist.
Another tribal area in the region is
on the Karappuzha river where a dam is nearing completion. As the
river is blocked and forms a lake, many villages have disappeared
and productive agricultural land is now under water. The tribal
residents of this area are in a perilous situation. After visiting
the area, doctors sanjeevan and ajitha deicided to organize a medical
camp for them.
Further, The M.A. Math is looking into the possibility of building
houses for these people.
